Prakash When you begin a rope trick, if someone says something like “tie me up,” how do you think your character should react, versus how do you feel like reacting? Because often I know what my character should do, but I don’t feel like doing that.
Rachel It depends on a few things. How does the rest of the audience feel about it? You need to know if they’re on your side. If they hate him too, my claws are coming out. I will eat you for breakfast. I almost prefer when somebody says something so overtly disgusting; now I have permission to go to town. I’m cutting into you with a steak knife. If somebody says something that hits a nerve for me personally, but really doesn’t warrant a bite back, that’s when I’m doing a calculation.
Prakash Now you need to measure.
