Wrap Up

Woah! This past week has been a blurr, so much has happened that I am literally at a loss for words. They told me that I need to wrap up my blog because the semester is over ....

R.I.P

Life takes on many journeys and we encounter so many people on these journeys and sometimes its hard to keep track of everyone. About two years ago I had the distinct privilege to meet an astounding young woman by the name of Khushal Dharamdass. We went on to perform together in "Temple In the Sea", "The Indian Arrival Day Re-enactment on Nelson Island" and "A Brighter Sun". In rehearsal she would be so quiet and pensive then come to life when it was her time to go onto the set.


Every time she came to rehearsal she greeted me with a smile and a hug. Even a few weeks ago we ran into each other on the way to rehearsal for "Sundar" and I was so busy I just said hello and went about my business. Two days ago I got a message saying that she passed away and my mind immediately flashed back to that moment when I was "busy".


Even as I type these words my heart is heavy ........... Khushal today I bid you farewell and I hope you are at peace.

Progress Report

Its high time I give you guys a heads up about what's been going on. Things don't always go according to plan but nevertheless you just have to keep on trucking. 

These are my current looks for everything that goes awry

WARM UP: Part 3

Warm ups are more than just workouts and vocals. Here we play two games that help with concentration and teamwork which are both needed when on stage.

WARM UP: Part 2

Its time for part two of warm ups. This time we look at some vocal exercises that help with enunciation and singing.

WARM UP: Part 1

Everyday at rehearsal we go through rigorous warm ups before we actually start rehearsing. It is important for us to be fit because to carry a show for two hours is not an easy feat. So here is a little peak into what a typical rehearsal day starts with. 

FISH

Its normally very hard to impress me so it is with great pleasure that I share this wonderful piece of work. The 2012 Trinidad & Tobago Film festival saw the emergence of "Fish". A gritty yet captivating short film written and directed by Shaun Escayg. The film tells the tale of two homeless cousins as they do everything they can to survive on the streets of Port of Spain.
