In this thought-provoking episode of The Human Frame, Łucja sits down with Fay Beck, a filmmaker, director, and founder of Beck Academy of Dramatic Art and Aberrant Gene Films, and acting coach whose work pushes against the boundaries of performance, embodiment, and artistic resistance.

Fay reflects on her unexpected journey from science into filmmaking and how this nonlinear path shaped her distinctive approach to acting and directing. She shares the evolution of her signature acting techniques, rooted in emotional precision, physical awareness, and the mechanics of the human body, and how these tools support actors in accessing truthful, grounded performances.

Together, they explore:
✨ The intersections of science, art, and embodied storytelling
✨ Developing acting techniques that merge emotional awareness with physical control
✨ The making of her film I XXX My Sex Doll and its interrogation of societal expectations
✨ The role of discomfort, disruption, and risk in artistic practice
✨ Art as resistance in a cultural moment marked by conformity
✨ Fay’s hopes for future work that challenges, questions, and refuses to fit neatly into the expected

A conversation for filmmakers, performers, and anyone who believes art should unsettle, provoke, and expand the frame.
