What happens when actors try too hard to get it right? I sit down with Madeleine Hutchins — actor and acting teacher, whose career has taken her from the West End and national tours to New York and international theatre — for a conversation about what she actually does when an actor gets stuck in self-consciousness, and why the fix is almost always physical rather than verbal. We talk about working with legendary director Sir Peter Hall, the discovery of "no acting acting" in Anthony Meindl's workshop, and a closing practice for regulation and presence.
