Sanee Raval: Acting from a Place of Intuition
We're off to tread the boards with actor Sanee Raval! In a sensitive and thought-provoking conversation, Sanee reflects on tuning the actor's sense of intuition to guide their practice, and heeding the creative call to pursue a career in acting. We touch on their new short film Kiln, and their experience of both directing and performing in their own production. Sanee provides valuable insight into the various pathways through which to approach a career as an actor, alongside some beautiful anecdotes chronicling the at-times mystical connection to the world that acting can foster.
