The Actor’s Waiting Room
Grace has had it rough. She’s spent thousands on training and years in customer service. Like most actors her life is a perpetual cycle of waiting. Join Grace as she tries to uncover the mysteries of the industry and why she isn’t famous yet. Some may call this investigative journalism, others may call it a waste of breath. But who can blame her, she’s just trying to pass the time, while she sits in the waiting room.
The Actor’s Waiting Room
S2. Ep 8. The Dyslexic Actor
I am with the fabulous Deborah Groves this week talking about Dyslexia.
Deborah is a mentor and coach for creatives who are neurodivergent and has worked across some big theatre companies such as The Globe, The National Theatre, The Almedia and The Royal Shakespeare Company. This episode is very close to my heart as I am dyslexic myself and have wanted to raise awareness for this in the creative industry for quite some time now. I hope this episode achieves that either by helping those who are dyslexic understand themselves a bit better or making others aware that there is more than one way to to teach someone who is neurodivergent.
Deborah's book 'The Dyslexic Actor' by Nick Hern's books will be published later next year for those seeking more advice.
