Have you ever wondered how much movement is too much movement in an audition?   Have you struggled to find movement that feels authentic to you?   In this episode, Roger Ellis (@rogerellis), head of movement in the MFA Acting Program at Northwestern University, shares how he develops character, creates choreography, and develops a directorial vision through the lens of movement.  He pulls back the curtain on his creative process and reveals the specific tactics he uses to devise choreography, dig deeper into a show's themes, and how to bring out each actor's truest self. Roger Ellis (they/he) is a movement director and filmmaker investigating the mixed reality of Black-queer-aspec experience. Roger is the original director of Nikki Lynette's Get Out Alive (Steppenwolf, film adaptation, National Alliance for Musical Theatre). Current projects include the documusical series Unhappy Songs About Unhappy Things, sound installation Interstitial and the short film Emergency Contact. Ellis is an assistant professor and head of the movement area for the MFA Acting Program at Northwestern University. In this interview, we discuss: What does storytelling mean to you? What's your approach to storytelling through choreography? When you're starting to choreograph a new show, how do you begin? How do you approach the score?  What's your process? What's your take on movement in auditions?  How can actors utilize movement in auditions without it feeling fully choreographed? How can they best represent themselves in the movement? What are you looking for in callbacks that is different from auditions? I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation!

How do you balance character development with the advancement of your plot? How can you develop characters to even execute your plot, unless you first start out with a plot? The answer is, both character and plot are developed in tandem. Every story,  whether it's a thriller, a fantasy,  realistic, literary,  mystery, or science fiction, is in some way about the private inner life of characters.  So there's going to be some central, evolving concern, or problem that your character must deal with.  And the  story is about is the actions, the suffering, the pain, the missteps, and the victories of the characters.In other words, character and plot are bound together. You can't really work on them separately. So in this episode, I'll give you 5 checkpoints to help you develop both character and plot.Episode Show NotesRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts.  Love what you're learning from the Writer Unleashed podcast?

What can the lives of the Ancient Greeks teach us about how to live well?'The Age Of Alexander' by Plutarch is a selection of 9 Greek lives from his work called 'Parallel Lives'. It covers prominent people from various locations and various professions, but all from around ~400 BC to 300 BC. It focuses mostly on their achievements with quotes, battle statistics, 1st hand sources, moments from their life and overall actions/behaviours.I summarised the book as follows. "It's a glimpse into the lives of great men, if not necessarily good men. Somewhat sombre due to the carnage but provides enough to get a feel for the person. I found it surprisingly applicable to current situations as decisions/outcomes are derived from one's character. Not hard to pick some qualities you lack and could cultivate."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
