Some actors go through a transformation to the point where the word "performance" feels inadequate. "Embodiment" is more apt. Nicole Beharie transforms into Turquoise Jones in Channing Godfrey People's film "Miss Juneteenth." It's a wonder to behold. On this episode, she talks about the immersive preparation work that went into her Gotham Award-winning performance, how the opportunity to take her time and "own the space" affected her work in a deep way, and the substitutions necessary to create the motherly bond so central to the film. Plus we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of unanswered questions in a performance, and how simply loving people and life actually helps the work.
