HOW TO: Direct with Clarity and Voice (w/ Britt Berke)
This week, Luke and Wyatt banter with the brilliant Britt Berke! Britt's knowledge accrued as a theatre director applies not only to the stage, but universally. We discuss topics such as how to communicate with actors using precise, supportive language (ie getting actors out of their own heads!!), how to discover the "note behind the note," and how to establish a unique point of view on a script, even when said script is more than 100 years old.
We also dive into diagnosing problems with theater games, navigating the financial realities of being a working director, and what it takes to build stability in the arts. Plus: Britt reflects on her relationship with New York’s evolving theater scene and shares exclusive hot takes on A24’s purchase of the Cherry Lane Theatre in the West Village. Enjoy, all!
