She talks to Akram about her work with Marcello and how movement has always been a cornerstone of her approach to acting.
Shakespeare has also been a cornerstone of Kathryn’s career and she discusses her approach to playing the “Everest” of roles, King Lear, in two different productions spanning a 25-year timeframe. She also talks about how different stages make her move differently and recalls how screenwriter Joel Cohen wanted her to combine the physicality of a crow combined with a standing stone for his film The Tragedy of Macbeth.
And Kathryn tells Akram how a serious accident left her with life-changing injuries but how this resulted in her thinking anew about how she could communicate physically.
