The Heart of a Curricularalist Speaks

Look at me in this picture. I look so haggard, very tired…very dirty! This is a picture of me and Ate Suzette doing body shapes with two bodies involved.

At first, i didnt liked the idea ofhaving an acting workshop. i know, im a thespian but acting is really not my forte in theater. i would rather direct a play or do stage management.

but for the love of Teatro, I did it. No Filipino thespians would not want to experience a workshop under Jay Cruz and Soxie Topacio. Every Filipino thespian knows how good these two people are.

I admit, I really didnt invest any emotional attachment with my workshopmates because at the back of my head, i believe we’ll also forget everyone in the workshop. I said, "No deep friendships, jsut plain workshop mate realtionship. I was almost succesful until the final showcase ended.

This is a picture of my workshopmates before our finalshowcase started.

We were partying in Blue Grill Restaurant along Katipunan Road. We drank all night, celebrating the  end of the heavy intensed acting exercises and the boring rehearsals of Flores Para Los Muertos (Im sorry Sir Jay but its true). Knowing how alcohol influence the process of the mind, I saw how great my classmates were. I realized they are good people with good hearts. T

Finally, after 4 weeks of hard work and heavy acting, this is a pic after we received our certificates right after the showcase.

Then, I began to realize that they already occupied a special place in my heart, a place wherein its only them residing on it. we left Blue Grill and flew all the way to Timog to do the same thing, drink the night away. I love them, i dont know why! they are already special. And I’m hoping that Ill be seeing more of them.
