@wickedcomfort This is how actors are trained, even if they are method actors. You have to be able to separate your life and emotions from that of the character otherwise the performance quality would falter each time and you can harm yourself psychologically.
Ariana Grande on how she dealt with the emotional scenes in “Wicked: For Good”:
“I’m a crier in life, but it’s not as easy when you’re performing. It’s not a party trick. I invented triggers for Glinda so that I didn’t have to touch on my own, because certain themes in this film are so adjacent to my life. I had to design her pain so I didn’t need to reference my own.”
@drewgirlevil the way she wrote it so formally like she’s making a speech to the masses obsessed with her private life about a relationship she still hasn’t processed yet oh taygenius
a song of acute social commentary. the concept of having to perform an autopsy on your relationship to identify its cause of death, just to feed the curiosity of those who should be interested in the “how are you?” of it all instead. dire sign of the times https://t.co/fTd6K5PjwC
