Made me happy...

Last week I received email from two classmates from a course I attended last year. The latter was an acting class centred in Hamlet. It was an investigation class, so there was a lot of reading and improvised work on our characters. As you can possibly imagine, I worked on Ophelia.

But I'm moving away from my point. Back to it, then. The first email was from a classmate who also played Ophelia, so we worked closely together. She wanted to know how my life was going, about my trip to NY, if there was a chance that we take classes together again... I wasn't expecting email of this sort at all.

The second email was from an actress who played Gertrude, who is now working on a play by Strindberg which opens soon. It was basically an invitation to the play, but it was directed to me specifically (as oposed to the classic mass mailing).

Neither of these classmates is a friend, so I'm glad that they make a point of staying in touch with me and that they want to work with me again and see my work. It may appear to be something small to blog about, but those really made my day when I received them.

Note: I forgot to mention that I was also invited to join the ensamble in a musical! That was from the choreographer with whom I worked on The Rocky Horror Show last year. She is now working in another play and invited the whole cast of Rocky... to participate. I had to decline because of scheduling conflicts, but once again, it is a great joy that people want to work with me again!

Welcome!

For those who found this blog via my Spanish blog, this is not a translation. Of course, some content from the other blog might end up here, and vice versa; but this blog has content of it's own.

Why an English version? Well, it's a long story, but to keep it short, two things happened: 1) my Spanish blog ended up being linked to one of Bonnie Gillespie's Your Turn columns, and 2) Back Stage included my headshot and a few of my opinions on theatre books in an article; so I figured that in case anyone clicked on the link or googled me as a result of reading the article I'd better have some content in English. Plus, it's always fun to share my views and experiences with new readers.

So, what can you expect to find here? Basically, my thoughts on acting, my experiences in the profession and the classes I take, stuff I find inspiring, my adventures in my upcoming trip to NY... and whatever else I decide to share.

About me

I was born (and still live) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am basically theatre trained and graduated two years ago. This is a special year for me, because for the first time since I graduated I have no time for full year acting lessons. This is because of the plays I'm rehearsing. And because of my two month trip to New York, too. The purpose of the latter is of course training, and also to experience a different way of working. I'm positive this year will bring many good things, and I hope those who decide to follow this blog will find my journey as exciting and enjoyable as I do.
