Episode Details

What does it look like to use the tools of acting to live a fuller life?

Melissa Weisz, actor, writer, producer, and facilitator, joins Faye for a personal and powerful conversation around identity and taking up space.

Melissa opens up about stumbling into acting through a Yiddish-language Romeo and Juliet, discovering on her first scene that her messy emotions finally had a place to go, and how she now teaches women to use acting techniques as life tools, to feel their own feelings, take up space in a room, and stop performing the polite version of themselves.

This episode goes deep on the difference between feeling and acting on a feeling, why anger was the hardest emotion to access, the most important real estate in a person's life (the moment between trigger and response), and what it means as a Jewish woman to refuse to perform a smaller version of yourself.
