This is my father’s old room near the beach before he moved to town. This is where he did most of his work. As I study theater now, I think of one of the ideas he used to implement; that the craft has immense emotional similarities to playing as a child. At age 9, when you hold this cricket bat inside the walls of your room, you can feel a roar from the stadium and see a bowler rushing to knock your head off. When I held that nerf gun in my hands, my father’s empty room still echoed in the silence of Madh Island, but at that point I was John Wick surrounded by bad guys with machine guns, gunfire everywhere, and you can hear them, you know? I was a woman once, after watching chak from India and getting excited to dribble around imaginary defenders, then I really shot that solid ball with my hockey stick and broke something. Oh I would always break something, my would be so pissed off. I think you have to find the child in you and keep it alive, regardless of your age.
