I am so in love with Cole from 12 Monkeys…I just kept saying Nerd like an idiot when he came on screen! I have loved the actor since he was Seymour Berkoff/‘Nerd’ in Nikita ❤️🐒

The theatre & performances of Steven Berkoff were always an inspiration. I've been rereading his plays & books..and chatting about them with him over tea. Life can be extraordinary at times. I flipping love LA. #beverlyhillscop #rambo #theborgias #webberdouglasacademyofdramaticart #berkoff (at Venice Beach, California)

Log Eight.

Today we didn’t have a session as we were more focused on our showing of Berkoff’s ‘Greek’. This play however involves a lot of characterisation involving posture, gesture and movement. This is something that has been highly influenced by previous movement and technique classes and has helped me achieve character successfully. The character of Eddies father is one that is old and a little crooked for this I leant forward a lot with my chine facing upwards and kept a wide stance to do this took strong muscles in the legs and back and was a good test of my stamina. Eddie the other character I played in the piece had more of an open stance and was led by his crotch which was jutted forwards this again tested my back muscles and leg muscles. However I feel throughout the pieces I kept stances perfectly and could not have done this without training my body to withstand the postures of these characters first. I am also feeling a lot healthier I realised then I had before I have been trying to eat more fruit then I had before and am trying to be more focused on character movement but also my own for instance not slouching when I sit on the sofa. Today was a testament to how technique classes are helping me to create characters and help me achieve pieces of successful work without hurting myself. However I know there are still hurdles for me to face with such things as my confidence and stamina levels, I also need to try more to focus on my flexibility. I still can’t reach my toes!
