Re-Creative Spotlight: Judy CormierIn this episode of Re-Creative, it’s all about acting. I grew up wanting to be an actor but changed my mind right before university for some reason that still eludes me. Chickened out, probably. It’s a profession that requires actual talent and considerable nerve. But I still find the profession fascinating and appealing. Which is why I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Judy Cormier.Judy is an actor based in London, Ontario where she can often be found onstage at the Palace Theatre acting with the London Community Players. She’s also dabbled in directing, having recently co-directed The Wicked Witches of Oz for the Kettle Creek Players. She’s also known for her film work, notably in Black Donnellys, an indie film from 2017 that explores the brutal, vigilante-led end of an infamous Irish immigrant family, and in which Judy portrayed family matriarch Johannah Donnelly.Because it’s what we do on Re-Creative, we also talk about work that has inspired Judy. In her case, it’s the work of three heavyweights of the craft—Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, and Maggie Smith. Judy shares with us specific lessons she unearthed in Dench’s memoir Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent, including the fundamental difference between rote line memorization and the necessity of truly understanding the text you’re performing. We discuss everything from the tragedies of Euripides to the structured chaos of “Pantos,” those unique traditional musical comedies often performed around Christmas. Judy walks us through the unique challenge of training polite Canadian audiences to abandon their reserve and scream at the villain, something we discover Mark excels at. It’s a fun conversation with someone truly passionate about her craft that left me torn between wanting to audition for our local community theatre or writing a panto for them to perform. Or maybe… both?You can subscribe to six month’s worth of this podcast completely for free.
