About Calice

Actress, self-taught soprano, poet and visual artist.

Calice seated in a black leather jacket, looking toward the camera.

I’m drawn to people who want conflicting things. Layered antagonists. Women whose intentions aren’t immediately clear. I’m interested in the distance between what someone says, what they want and what they actually do.

Acting

The people I want to play

I personally find it more exhilarating to get into the antagonist’s arc. I want to understand what a person is protecting, what they’re hiding, and what happens when their motives pull them in different directions.

Psychological thrillers and character-led stories are where I’d like to go further. I’m interested in roles that leave room for contradiction, and stories that keep changing how we understand someone.

I write too. Writing has been central to how I’ve grown as an actor. To write a character, I need to feel their core and their arc from the inside. That work follows me into a performance.

Catherine Tramell

Basic Instinct · performed by Sharon Stone

To me, she’s a defining femme fatale lead. She doesn’t need men; she toys with them while they struggle to understand her. She builds her own worlds, knowing how people will perceive her. As a psychology graduate and an outlier, I feel represented in that arc.

Scene Notes

I shoot my studies in a single take to stay with the emotion and the character’s arc. I’m learning to direct myself as I go.

The notes sit beside the work: what I wanted to try, what challenged me and what I learned. My current studies draw on Basic Instinct, Anna, The Idol and Lucy, with three approaches to Lucy’s “I feel everything” scene.

Arts

I’m not a medium specific artist. Never was. I write, sing, act and make visual work. Poetry is my anatomy, since I taste wor(l)ds.

My poem “Shades” was set to music by Dong Zhou and appears on the EP Congee Rats’ Reliquary.

The most uncomfortable parts of being human are what make us one. That’s what my work is about.
