INTERVIEW

CAN YOU GIVE ME A SHORT ANSWER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING SHOWS YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN?

 

 

DISNEY`S THE LION KING?

 

THE LION KING FAMILY TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY TO THE PRIDE LANDS AND MAKES YOU BELIEVE IN SPIRITS. 

 

 

DIRTY DANCING?

 

SOMETHING FOR THE ROMANTICS. 

THE STORY MAKES YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. 

THE SHOW HAS BEEN MY FIRST TIME CHALLENGE AS DANCECAPTAIN IN a SHOW. 

GREAT EXPERIENCE.  

 

 

DISNEY´S AIDA?

 

DEFINITELY STILL CAPTURED BY THE BEAUTY OF THIS SHOW.

THE STORY ABOUT LOVE, HOPE, SUPREMACY, RACIAL INJUSTICe, 

SPIRITUALITY and pride STILL BEATS DEEPlY IN MY HEART. 

I AM STILL LISTENING TO ELTON JOHN’S BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WRITTEN FOR DISNEY'S AIDA AND I AM IN LOVE. 

WHY DO WE SING? 

 

SINGING IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FORMS OF EXPRESSION.

IT'S ABOUT BREATHING DEEPly,

BALANCE, CONNECTION TO YOUR FEELINGS

AND LETTING IT ALL OUT.

SIMPLy THERAPEUTIC.

IF YOU START TO find YOUR OWN VOICE

AND HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO SING OUT LOUd

IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE ALL DAY LONG. 

 

 

 

WHAT DOES ACTING MEAN TO YOU? 

 

ACTING IS REACTING.

Listening is key.

IMAGINE HOW YOU REACT IN CONVERSATIONS OR how you express FEELINGS WITH WORDS and physicality.

ACTING BASICS DO COME VERY HANDY FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DIRECT In any form.

ACTING becomes easy FROM THE MOMENT YOU STOP TRYING AND START being YOURSELF. 

 

 

 

WHAT KIND OF DANCE STYLE YOU LIKE THE MOST?

WHEN THE MUSIC IS RIGHT YOUR BODY STARTS TO MOVE.  

DANCE IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE CALLED BODY LANGUAGE and is A DIRECT CONNECTION TO WHAT YOU FEEL.

POSITIVE TUNES DO MAKE ME HAPPY INSTANTLY AND I GUESS THATS WHAT I MOSTLY RESPOND TO.
