INTERVIEW WITH NAOMIE HARRIS

What is crucial about the work that Intermission Youth Theater does and how did you get involved?

Naomi Harris:Intermission Youth Theater is a year-long drama program for young people from disadvantaged areas of London. The young people are aged between 16 and 25 and come from difficult backgrounds – they may be ex-offenders, at risk of committing offenses or simply lacking opportunities in life. Intermission not only plays a crucial role in channeling the talents of these potentially vulnerable young people, but also in mentoring and coaching life skills. It’s not just about acting – it’s about the whole person (body/mind/spirit). I got involved because I saw an Intermission play and was literally blown away by the phenomenal performances, directing and writing on display.

How can the arts benefit potentially vulnerable young people?

Naomie Harris: The arts play a vital role in society as they provide insight into experiences around the world; as well as from all walks of life. These insights into alternative cultures, societies, and lifestyles offer us the opportunity to develop greater understanding and compassion for our fellow human beings; helping us to see the universal struggles and concerns that we share. For young people and vulnerable people, the arts are particularly beneficial both because they provide a platform for self-expression, and also because they allow people to gain a broader perspective of the world. ; as well as having their own experiences reflected back to them, which helps them not feel alone and validated.

Shakespeare is central to the creative process at IYT, why do you think it is important for young people to continue to engage in his work today?

Naomie Harris: Shakespeare is still important today because issues such as knife crime, zip code rivalry, gang warfare, jealousy, love, rage, etc. are unfortunately still relevant today. And, also because if you can conquer Shakespeare as an artist, you can conquer everything! There is therefore really no more edifying material for a young performer.

What do you think are the main challenges young actors are facing right now? What should the industry do to overcome them?

Naomie Harris: Lack of funding for training. Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are discouraged from entering the profession because they simply don’t have the money to pay for training, which once would have been either free or subsidized by the government. It is a loss for these talented young people, as well as a loss for the profession as a whole, as it is not nourished with the diversity of talent that it once was. To overcome this, the government must provide more funding for the arts in general and for arts training in particular.

Do you think established players have a responsibility to help the next generation?

Naomie Harris: I think in any profession where people have knowledge and ideas to share that can help the next generation, they absolutely should. I wish I had the chance to ask a successful actor questions about how to survive the industry when I was an aspiring actress, so it’s my honor to now be able to do so for the next generation of performers.

What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Naomie Harris: I worked with Dawn French on a corporate training video when I was 19, and she told me I had to develop thick skin to survive acting. She was 100% right! No matter how successful you are in the industry, you will ALWAYS encounter rejection and hear “NO” on a weekly, if not daily basis. To survive this, you need to develop strategies to protect the sensitivity and openness you need to take action, while creating a protective shield around you that ensures you don’t take rejection personally. You have to be brave and keep picking yourself up and auditioning no matter how many times the people at the company say “no”.

What advice would you give young aspiring actors to break into the industry?

Naomi Harris:Training, training and more training! You need a very broad skill set to be an actor because you never know what you’re going to be called upon to do next. It is both the joy and the challenge of the profession. The best way to make sure you’re in the best possible position to get your next job is to be familiar with as many skills as possible, and one way to do that is through training. As an actor, in addition to the basics of singing and dancing, I was asked to ride a horse, scuba dive, learn a new accent in a matter of days, speak a foreign language, fire machine guns, do stunts and so much more. If I hadn’t gone to Bristol Old Vic Theater School and been trained in basic stunt work, and had the opportunity to play a wide range of characters with different accents, I would certainly would have been at a disadvantage when auditioning as an aspiring actor. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to make my mistakes and learn essential lessons in drama school, rather than on a highly pressurized film set or professional theater. Young aspiring actors should have the same opportunity, it’s not a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity. I certainly would have been at a disadvantage in the audition as an aspiring actor. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to make my mistakes and learn essential lessons in drama school, rather than on a highly pressurized film set or professional theater. Young aspiring actors should have the same opportunity, it’s not a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity. I certainly would have been at a disadvantage in the audition as an aspiring actor. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to make my mistakes and learn essential lessons in drama school, rather than on a highly pressurized film set or professional theater. Young aspiring actors should have the same opportunity, it’s not a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity.
