the Story of Silence

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

While doing acting the last 7 years after a long break from elementary and intermediate school in Saudi, I decided to actually go get some training in this profession.  That of course took me to The Acting Corp, that teaches the basic arsenal for actors to use for acting.

This of course is exactly what I think I needed to drive home the point.  As I have obviously grown…   (As an actor) I have noticed something this last month since I starting working with my group, most of whom are beginners, and some who didn’t even take the workshops for acting purposes, and what I noticed was as our teacher Adrian Alita said during the exercise in the video…  ”We didn’t even need words, we only reacted”  Which is exactly what I heard some of the veterans in TIP tell me in the past.  And most have heard me say this, One of my favorite all-time stage performances was the one that I was on stage for almost 20 minutes, and had 5 lines.  Yet it was extremely memorable.

So here is the short that we shot after our second-to-last day in class.  No rehearsals, No lines, No preplanning except for the last scene with the boys.  And Although Kyle was Sick for the shooting days, and didn’t feel well, I did find a small reel that had him in it.

So, dedicated to the BC1 Morning class, Thank you:
David Stoller
Marina Chernaya
Darline Hull
Ashley Williams
Lila Terbescu
Stephanie Luescher
ME!!!
Lucia Oskerova
James Lim
Jeffrey Evan
and Kyle Heller

Hope to see the ones who made it in BC2!!!

MEESH 07 – The Next Chapter

This VBlog was really hard to do , because I wanted to talk about a lot of things, and I had to cut about 3 minutes off of it simply because of this 10 minute time constraint youtube has.

But don’t worry , I didn’t cut out anything that significant Just the recap of the olympics.  Which I really didn’t know anything about…  Because I don’t follow them…  Not that I don’t like it, I just don’t watch them.

So here it is:  Episode 7
