Transit - Play

12/12/09

- deals with many sensitive issues - immigration, politics, Western 'guilt', African deception (being rich), suppressed dreams

- Actors improvisation - author, writer listens
- More of a skeleton than a script - changing of scripts
- Accents - read lines, listen to accent - studying the character
- Different receptions - foreigners (Sweden - more reserved) & Africans
- Africans - second nature , laugh about issues raised
- Best way to relate - to make it real for the audience
- Incorporating sound and music - African influence - "Music is a universal thing"
- "If I don't believe myself, how do I make the audience believe me?"
- Actress - spiritual than technical acting
- Mistake on stage - 'golden moment'
