Episode 2.
This episode follows on from the first as that recording was interupted by the rehersal of the rehersal of the Cantebury Shakepeare Festival production of Othello. At the time the actors were chanting the lords prayer which inspired me to ask their director for an interview.
Tom Houlton agreed to the interview and went on to speak about his beginings as a young actor and then his new found passion as a director at Kent University. He spoke of being inspired by Thomas Ostermeier and Mike Alfreds with the later having particular influence with his philosophy on the importance of the actor. Tom believes that each actor must bring his own character to the performance and employees different technieques to make each performance a performance in it's own right.
I really enjoyed this interview, becuase other than being an audience member of a few theatre perofrmances I had no previous knowledge of actng or directing. It gave me a chance to explore something that would not normally be a point of interest for me.
I hope it does for you too.
