This work emerges from my research into the relationship between the actor and the character; what is the diving line? What are the
elements that make them what they are? When does the self seep
through the character? When does the self seep through the
performer? When does the self seep through our daily life roles?
This video documents what happens when Oriana sits in front
of the mirror to look into her eyes. I have asked her to look
at herself in the privacy of her home and let herself
just be until the private begins to seep.
