The actor at the centre of the Geoffrey Rush vs The Daily Telegraph defamation trial is finally finding fame — and acclaim — for the ‘right’ reasons: her art.
"My needs and my experience after [King] Lear and the trial, were very, very different — as a person, as an artist, in every aspect of my life," Norvill says.
Returning to the theatre was daunting, she says: "But to be surrounded by a group — a huge ensemble of people with a lot of diverse artists — I really enjoyed that … It felt like a really good community."Eryn Jean Norvill in rehearsals for Sydney Theatre Company's production of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
In general, she is sceptical about ways of working that are based on hierarchies and strictly delineated roles, though she acknowledges that this is how much of her industry — and most industries — work. She's also far more thoughtful and active about safety in her workplace than she used to be — for herself and for others.
For herself, Norvill says: "Every room I enter into now, I am very, very aware of setting up pathways for communication … If I witness something, I speak — whether that's just someone having a bad day, or whether that's bad behaviour. I'm also extremely transparent when it comes to where I'm at.
