POST 5: My future job.

 

When I was a kid and thought about growing up I wanted to be a lot of things: forensic doctor, singer, flight attendant, even one of those people who traveled around the world. I was always changing professions until I got to the theater, a place where you can be all of those things! and that was kind of cool. When I applied to acting school I had to pass a special test. The truth is that I did decide and didn’t have many other alternatives. I also applied to TV acting if I got it wrong, but luckily that didn’t happen. I chose this career because it's something I started doing as a kid and really enjoyed and loved. It really makes me happy and I can't imagine doing anything else.

My experience in school has been intense but gratifying in a lot of ways. I’ve met really amazing teachers and friends with which I have a lot of projects in mind.  When I think about acting I imagine the world that appears on that stage, that unique moment that’s happening besides life outside, like a space where different emotions transcend. Of course theater is very diverse, there is street theater and stage one, but both are characterized by creating a unique and special moment. Looking at the future I want to keep acting,I think it’s what's calling me the most right now and I hope never to stop doing it, even though there are other areas that call my attention but for now I haven’t really experienced them. I would also like to look into teaching, that's something I would really like specially to teenagers. I think theater is a really fundamental source to life and it could help some learning process. Actually right now I’m writing an academic article about that. And of course I want to travel and keep learning, travel a lot and get to know places, theaters, and acting techniques from all around the world.
