to #artists everywhere. The meaning of #trust is: accept the input of your allies. The meaning of #ally is: if you don’t accept what the artist aims to achieve, excuse yourself and be silent.
Stop destroying artists by poisoning them with your disbelief.

I’m gay for Claudia Karvan

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@thetomconroy @Miss_Harbinger So I’ve got my hand, doing a beak like it might talk. And I’m like “oh now Sarah has got Michael in a headlock!“
they say “it wouldn’t be a headlock, that’s too violent”
Ive got my hand up like a beak.
“Michael and Sarah tussle and it’s anyone’s game now,”
“The boy would win”

@thetomconroy @Miss_Harbinger I say I was told the host. They say “No the puppet“
in the room, I ask “where is the puppet“
“use your hand. Imagine there’s a wrestling match and you’re calling it like a horse race.”

@Miss_Harbinger So I’m miming this elaborate set of circumstances.

And as I go to “run across the river” my foot caught in the stool, which swung around and hit me in the face, propelling me through the screen backdrop, where my face hit the wall, right before the screen fell over on top of me.

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger I did an audition for Kokoda years ago. I had to mime holding a rifle while trying to run across a river at night, while enemies shot at me from above.
This was at Fox Studios. They had an acting area with a blue wooden stool and a screen backdrop.

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger I’ve got another one!

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@d_cl_n_gr__n_ This is true!
and it’s also why I never tried to have sex with you.
or did I?

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger I hope it’s clear why I 1) avoid actors needing to be nude in my work 2) make sure if there’s to be nudity it is done with collaboration and consent with the actors and 3) that the actors know that I treasure and protect them in their depiction of intimacy because I get it

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger To sum up. I got my tits out to say “Your father’s insane. He sent the ape men to kill Roxton”

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@connoroncinema I will not choose! Instead I will make scones for you all after the match

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@ms_michellelaw I specifically remember my friend S saying “I want to tell these girls not to do it but I don’t think they will listen”
I said “one day they will figure it out”
Today is that day. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger I walked through Glebe contemplating my artform.
And a side note, every single female actor I’ve ever known has just nodded and said “every single day”

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger But I’m scorched by the fact that someone not only got me to take my clothes off but then made fun of what I looked like. As I’m leaving, I call my agency and say did they say there was nudity? My agent sighed and said “No but you’ve got to expect it”

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger I took my top off, extremely uncomfortable, and Ros said in a joking voice “Yah Gaaawgeous”
So at this point I’ve been coerced into disrobing and the casting director has belittled me. Obviously I’m a skinny weirdo, there’s no way I’m getting this role.

[Jono Gavin @JonoGavin]

@Miss_Harbinger Okay here’s one. An old show called Beast Master. I was sent for an audition and when I got into the room Ros said “it’s topless so just lose your shirt”
I said “no one wants to see me topless”
She said “we told your agent”
