Describing the concept, Nilüfer Yanya explains:
“I was researching method acting – and from what I read, it’s based on finding this one memory in your life, a life-altering, life-changing memory. The reason why some people find method acting traumatic and maybe not safe mentally, is because you’re always going back to that moment. It can be good or bad but you’re always feeding off the energy, something that’s defined you – and that’s what helps you become the character. It’s a bit like being a musician. When you’re performing, you’re still trying to invoke the energy and emotion of when you first wrote it, in that moment. It definitely feels like you’re having to recreate or step into that headspace.”
The full video for ‘Method Actor’ is online now – shot in an old hotel in Benidorm, it’s an understated one-take shot that finds Nilüfer sitting down to share her story. Watch it here:
