been almost five months since the School of Dramatic Art in Castilla y León celebrate the International Day of Theater . And today I want to talk about it for the duration of the message in the assembly. The idea to commemorate the date was to pay tribute to the work of actor, his interpretative technique.
Carlos Marchena, stage director and teacher on the interpretation of the school, was responsible for the assembly, involving actors Ana Otero (pictured), Paul Vine and Ricardo Vicente, who performed a dramatic reading of Robert Lepage text and reviewed the most important works of theater history ( tragedies Electra, Antigone and Hamlet and the comedy The real fake ). You also had the presence of other actors in companies such as castellanoleonesa Azar Teatro, Teatro Quartet and La Chana Teatro.
I got the recording of body work that nine students from the school developed under the direction of Socorro Anadón. Laptop girl is Laura Gonzalez, and eight shadows under Jéssica Burgos, Nerea Del Rio, Patricia Torres, Clara Parada, Alfredo Noval, Ángel Martín, Ignacio Laseca and Francisco García. For me it was a very exciting and I can finally share it with you.
could happen, it had to happen. happened before, after, closer, further. not happened to you. you saved because you were the first. you saved because you were the last. Because only because people, because the left because the right, because it rained, because the shadow; because it was a sunny day. Luckily there were no trees. Luckily a rail, a hook, a table, a brake, a framework, a curve, a millimeter a second. Luckily floating in the water knife. Because, because, yet, despite ... What would have happened if the leg, hand, by a hair, a step of coincidence ...? Do you realize? One eye on the net and you go that eye. not leave you amazed, peat. Listen ... how fast your heart beats me.
was not sure whether this year could go, but two days before I organized it all and finally I was there. Once again turned to vibrate, I returned to struggle in the Fiesta Madrid Gay Pride .
Nart Thank you, Harvey, Neil, Laura, George, Chuck, Paul, Jesus and Andrew for your company. Had a great time with you all.
And you, thanks for having appeared in Callao and not somewhere else, to introduce in my life without warning.
This is the montage of videos and photos I made in memory of the bash, entitled Pride of pescao ':
I arrived there with a realistic view of the situation and to check everything was in favor and against. In the "fishbowl", a brunette and petite (today is) treated me kindly. When I read the requirements to be met for testing access to school, I formed a knot in my stomach to think that "could be" ... Soon after came the tests, those which I spoke, and started back during summer.
From minute one it was clear that my life would change completely: presentations, the initial talks, the first "formal coffee" with Patricia Torres, Carolina Sastre and Jesus Barrio, and relationships from the start it was announced.
Interpretation In started dropping, unlocked, unlearning, and work with our dear concentration exercise of the "Zas-Boing." Then came the improvisations according to the technique of William Layton, understanding concepts such as listening, protagonist, antagonist, conflict, desire, goal, activity, strategy, urgency, attitude, status, economics, etc., leading them to practice. In these improvisations worked with Paul Pacheco.
With this and with the active analysis Jorge Saura, my acting coach, Carlos Marchena, we chose to work on several micro-stories, making a complete analysis of the text to move after the conflict. In my case was the strange experience of a fisherman named Pascual. It was a complex work in practice, but I enjoyed it very much, and with him I learned to develop with greater ease the "score of action" in other exercises. This is the text of the short story Time by José Manuel Fernández Argüelles:
"An evening calm and placid sunny Sunday, Pascual caught in a meek and quiet river. I had no luck with the fish, and immobility and torpor were numbing him on the flat stone on which he sat. Pascual opened eyes, startled, when he nearly fell off his rock hard seat, but his surprise was even greater to see that, around it, it was night. He joined with effort, as all the joints ached, and once on foot turned out, surprisingly intense light of the moon, the river was dry, the other side had not any people and no longer behind him there was a forest, but a desert wasteland. Pascual had slept as much as life on earth. "
We also rely on the Michael Chekhov technique to develop the imagination and advance learning: animal exercises, atmospheres (with whom I always enjoyed!), Irradiation, projection, works with some of the minimal stories Javier Tomeo, shaping imagination of our own body with clay and mud along the course, and even had time to become a buskins (shoes worn by tragic actors in ancient Greco-Roman). In short, a good job that is not here: we must make new interpretations of various works for the forthcoming year. List of works: • The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. • Ivanov by Anton Chekhov. • Three Sisters, Anton Chekhov. • Blood Wedding by Federico García Lorca. • La casa de Bernarda Alba, Federico García Lorca. • Roberto Zucco by Bernard-Marie Koltes. • All My Sons by Arthur Miller. • Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O'Neill. • The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. Acrobatics
has been one of the most exciting subjects of the course. Over time, was calling attention more and more of everything I learned, because I slowly was beating myself. In the first quarter we are dedicated to work basic physical skills: tumbling (forward and backward, pooled, extended, released and pressed), strut, pine and haunted side wheel. From February to late March we worked on the Dove, the mortal (forward and backward), balance, and stage combat practice. From April until the end of the course we focus on the preparation of the final exercise, which was making a scene in which incorporated everything we've learned in the subject taught by Juan Merino.
Miguel Jerez, Elian Rodríguez and I (in that order, from right to left pictured) wanted to tell the story of the struggle between the element "fire" and two bodies to symbolize the element "water", two kindred spirits who, after meeting, are forced to fight against the destructive nature of the igneous body. With music from the show "Quidam" by Cirque du Soleil , did a fabulous job, for which I am very proud and grateful to my colleagues. I hope that, one way or another, we can work together, with the same vigor and enthusiasm on this occasion. This is the exercise video, Versus Fire Water :
With
Elia Muñoz, Class of Voice, correct exercise posture habits linked to the Alexander Technique , we learned to give massages to have a proper physical layout in the vocal work, and perform different types of activities to reach final work, which we should give a brief "musical concert" starting panting, through the wailing and crying, until the laughter.
Expression In Corporal study the anatomy of human beings, we bear, pull of the kite, we are carried by the hips, looking for someone special in a crowded airport, we were on the beach we went into the sea and seaweed were, pull wires and ropes and we move between branches, also cleared an entire forest, painted the walls of our classroom with the breath, and geriatric nursing were even "Jubete" ... remember with emotion the body work we did four pairs of students, a collective game of shadows that played a snippet of text Canadian stage director Robert Lepage, on the occasion of the celebration of International Theatre Day . All this and more at the hands of Socorro Anadón.
Monday and Tuesday of the second quarter we had almost two straight hours of English with Polish Dorota Wieczorek. We had a great time in their classes, learning English in a manner very different from how we've been doing so far. One of the best times we had with a practical exercise in which all we participated directly or indirectly, was the show "Heart of Garlick" ("Heart of Garlic"), presented by Ruben Ajo. He posed as a television journalist who interviewed a number of women (Carmen "Sheep" Jessica "Towns", Patricia "Towers" Raquel "Hangman" Carolina "Tailor" and Elizabeth "Director") with unusual occupations.
Moreover, the theoretical subjects: In Dramatic Literature, with Margarita Pinero, we study sixteen works to see the evolution of man, his problems, based on the myth until the seventeenth century. I worked especially texts Medea of \u200b\u200bEuripides, with Nerea Del Rio and Stephanie De Pablos, and Much Ado About Nothing of William Shakespeare, with Patricia Torres. With the first, understood the struggle within the protagonist, her emotional distress and its height, and the second issue noted as the French "Joie de vivre" ("Enjoy life"), a certain relationship with the Old Comedy Aristophanes. Literature Today I see otherwise, I'm hooked on it.
The vast knowledge that gave us John Arregui in History Scenario was amazing. I had never met a professional of his caliber. Cecilia Nocilli The Italian took our training Theory and History of Dance and Theory and History of Music . He had appreciated the strength and emotion that host these arts, especially dance workshops through its reconstruction and analysis choreic asked us (the latter with the help of Bruno Calzada and Ignacio Laseca).
Labella Carmen style to approach the assumptions, bases, ideas, techniques, systems and methods in Interpretation Theory was a resounding success in their personal capacity. I remember very good working sessions, discussions and laughter with Jose Maria and Ruben Esbec Ajo.
new details appeared in high school that I discovered about the diversity of expression in art history . The most significant was Charo Charro as a person.
And lastly, Introduction to the Verso with Rosa Sanz, was very interesting to study the hows and whys of verse, from the theory and practice.
and colleagues cite the rest of my group, "Team A", Laura González, Elvira Domínguez and Ignacio Abad, and to remind the "B" and my people second. For the good and the bad times we've been in and out of the hall "bun." In all, a big hug.
A Monday morning brought the south to north. And the point of this meeting was given in full freedom, so to speak. The show resumed, but not for everyone. The massage was, in principle, a game between colleagues to break the heavy idea that the week starts again. In that game suddenly joined the bearer of several piercings and a tattoo ...
With him are showing gracious intentions in the middle of a conversation inconsistent for the effect of alcohol. Suddenly, it became clear that this was not the first conversation between those bright green eyes, but try to hide this fact:
- So, tomorrow you eat with the Palencia, right? - , yo. - Yes - , he. - And where you plan to eat? - - I do not know, but I only eat meat! - - Ah, okay, then I take home ... - - Go, go ... -
After we closed the doors of the premises and walked around the downtown. We cover the main square of Valladolid with our laughter until it was time to go home.
tattoos and piercings seemed childish drawings on my bed. I admit I jumped a little Teddy, but never to abuse. I also believe that the doll and wanted it, enjoyed it, he pretended to be asleep as evidenced by how it accelerated the pace of his breath and shuddered.
Can be funny to see a stuffed animal as a taxi passenger? It depends.
bed for two nights I slept alone. When I came to occupy it, it felt colder than usual. In consultation with the pillow, I knew that my bed had bothered me for leaving her, and she loves me, but alone. Although we have not talked about it, I have forgiven him long ago. While the popcorn
laughed out loud and guinea pig tried to escape from their cage, the infant is forced to remain under observation in hospital.
A red rose should not mean more than what it is: a red rose. It seems incredible how we have destroyed the true essence of things ... For the umpteenth time, I say that the problem is not the act itself but in the free interpretation of the recipient. Hence the need to see you again. For a moment, I feel part of something that I like, something that is far from what they really intend. And all becomes clear later. I think that basically the two needed to speak out. With days to find it's like seeing double, and without being drunk! It was hoped that "Mercedes" change. When you return to being one, sometimes your eyes are cold and very dry your words. This hurts, but I understand it that way. Nor do I have the right to ask you to change, never would, or you or anyone else. Let you go and then I also I'll go.
occurred during the rehearsal for the Gala Music Awards . With the rundown in one hand, I look for the seats allocated to recreate the moments of how some artists can receive their prize. During the break, we started talking ... Of the eight awards, the best was yours, no doubt. Find the shade of a place in the middle of the night is more innocent than we do. Reminds me of an unforgettable time. Is positive. And it's like to feel I'm doing something forbidden. I can enjoy it knowing that we run some risk in a city like this. Because of that smile. I know that things have an expiration date, because I understand that Salzburg is next door to say, but if necessary, before everything is over, we go to Jordan and look for the danger that you like.
For just over a month I collect moments before could not cope. I try myself, and I train in the belief that the next installment will be better. Slowly I am getting, but it's hard, really. Why have things changed so much? Generally, people fear the future. To me now I want to do move clockwise with violence because this scares me. What a paradox!
Today, the total can not be resolved. It's funny to think that the most exciting stories I have ever lived have begun as he descended a ladder. Fortunately, life and circumstances never cease to amaze ...
With a sticker on his chest as if it were a bar code, set to be a "guy of contraband." After the adhesive paper, gin with lemon and toast endless until we seek to cross our eyes. The music stops for us. I took the initiative by proposing a game and their participation quick response, places us in the mirror. An aroma that can not be matched, first words and impressions, various sincere laughter and touch. It was time that the heart does not beat me so hard. It seems particularly . The timing is delayed by circumstances and return home (walking!). Preoperative
with nonverbal communication. And setting until it reaches the last night of winter and early spring. Our approach makes me think it's better late than never, and look how. Later, "voiceover." The game resumed with a very clear intention. Roces, kissing, cuddling and a stroke. Although usually no one gets, this time he, himself, does make me nervous to get me to dance and hold me so I would not escape.
Soon after, Cleo, Tete, Maripier, Pelusín, pigtails and Cuquín we take to the streets. We both recognize that we do not like the dawn, but now seems to bother. "Mercedes", the daughter of millionaires waiting on the street in a while. She, dressed in red, is responsible to take home, and on the way, let us know that before he and I knew, we were very close to each other. This figure represents a lot. Countered the cold to think about it. Then we go from 39 to 5 in a minute. The cat is hiding while we drink water. Heat. 8, 9, 10 and 11. [...] Lavender in it. Intimate conversations and play. is special. They gave us more time sleeping together. 12, 13, 14 and 15. After all and for the rest of the day I'm sorry "aketaminado" happy as a duck.
discover someone say that during the full moon mark, and if happens at night can be magical. I firmly believe.
finally back to update the blog after more than a month of inactivity on it. The reason is the same: the lack of time, you know (but not win!). I'm sorry the absence and promise to put the batteries as soon as possible tod @ s who follow me. I have the section on "creating entries" blog full of drafts to publish and share with you which oven full of tasty sweets. Hope you like it ...
On Friday February 29 was a day that, for me, not only defined this 2008 as a leap year. This day brought something else, brought much more. Shortly after four o'clock in the afternoon, some students Interpretation and Scene Management of Valladolid could ESAD enjoy a good action drama. The truth is that the school can not treat us better.
The bus that went to Madrid was not bad. In addition, Mr. conductor had good taste put us Manu Chao music the whole way. For me, the song call me Street, film Princess was one of the key ingredients of the day.
typical to kill the heaviness of the trip: to prove ourselves to each other with games of wit, intelligence. I know you do this is very "college" but it was fun, go. Games highlighted The wolf, the sheep and the lettuce ; bulbs; hatted heads; Patocuá and two different versions of Beach, among others. One of the best was the game fuck , which recorded a share. There you have it, for if you're quite curious.
Back in Madrid, attended a representations of Hamlet by William Shakespeare by Réplika Theatre. The company was founded in 1989 by Jaroslaw Bielski and Socorro Anadón. not easy to discuss a work like this, since one ends up feeling trapped in a philosophical world that can rarely get a clear resolution, a complete answer. I find it disturbing in its essence, and the effect on the issues proposed today.
respect to work in Réplika Hamlet, that attracted me very much the proposal Jaroslaw Bielski, director of the work. Available space as an arena stage, and therefore the public is divided into two parts. The beginning scene is repeated at the end and the celebration of marriage of Claudius and Gertrude. All the characters are participating in the happy event, all but Hamlet, which remains isolated, grieving the death of his father and his mother's behavior. With repetition of the scene, establishing the sense of being an immortal work on ring composition, while the public seems to be part of the royal court with their applause.
All the actors were sensational, without exception: Raul Chacon ( Hamlet ) performed a flawless role from beginning to end, Borja Manero ( Claudio ) I especially liked, was very strong; Socorro Anadón ( Gertrudis ), teacher, was great and completely sensual. Each class of Corporal Expression with it is a true example of professionalism, why not say it; Marta Eguía ( Ofelia ) captivated the entire room with his gesture, his voice, his energy and seriousness interpretation of the rest of the cast, made up of Pablo Castanon ( Horacio ), Niko Zamiat ( Rosencrantz), Daniel Ghersi ( Guildenstern), Luis Martí ( Polonius and Gravedigger ), José Manuel Taracido ( Actor and Laertes) and Antonio Martín ( Actress , Messenger, Priest and Osric).
After the performance I could write a standing ovation from students at the school at Socorro and Martha. This is the video (poor quality, btw):
When we left there, Raquel (Maribel Verdú my particular!) Told me a lovely story. Just that afternoon had reappeared by surprise part of the story, which could well be made into a film ...
like to say that this day was spent great with everyone, like other nights when we had dinner together and we've gone out there. You are great!
