The power of imagination — onstage and off | Suki Hillier
About this episode
Suki Hillier discusses the connection between imagination in performance and real life, drawing from her experience in 'Matilda The Musical'.
When professional child actor Suki Hillier landed the title role in "Matilda The Musical," she thought she would have to learn how to become someone else. Instead, she realized she had known the role since she was three, when she playfully tried to move objects with her mind the way Matilda does. In this joyful talk, she reveals the similarities between the stage and life — because imagination isn't about escaping the world. It’s a way of building one. Hosted on Acast.
