1. How have the Paradoja shows evolved and as it grows what are somethings that remain consistent?
2. What do you consider to be the groups core philosophy, either in the live shows or in preparing/creating the shows.
For questions 1 and 2, I fell that I can't really answer these because I only just recently joined Paradoja. It would be better If someone else answered those, someone who has been in it for a while now.
3. What do you think is Paradoja's reputation, meaning what do you think people might expect from the shows? Why does the audience not just keep coming back but grow?
Since I have been an audience member a number of times I can say for sure that people including I keep coming back because we know were are going to have a fun time. We know that when we sit down and watch the show, that Paradoja will be trying to push the limit and be funnier and even better than they were last show. As an audience member I can say that each time I do see a show it just gets better and better, they really are talented people.
4. What has working on the Paradoja shows taught you?
It has taught me to be myself. It taught me how to be open and really introduced new ideas and a new outlook.
5. What do you think of Dave Coonan both personally and professionally? is there anything you have learned from him?
I do not know Dave Coonan personally but what I can tell by hearing how people talk about him is that they really love him. I can see that Coonan is really more like a friend to the kids and has really taught them a lot. I do not know If I have learned anything from him, maybe I have without noticing, maybe I did not I have not really spoken to him. But I do know he is a good man.
6. What do you think of Mike Pagano both personally and professionally? is there anything you have learned from him?
Mike Pagano is a great guy. He is a great friend and a great actor. I can tell he really loves acting and he is very talented. Mike really taught me how to be open and to be myself and he really influenced me. We have a lot in common I suppose, especially in humor. I am really glad I am able to work with him.
7.What do you think of John Ortiz both personally and professionally? is there anything you have learned from him?
I consider John a close friend of mine. John is amazing at what he does, he is great at improv and he is a really funny guy. Again he and I have a lot in common.
8.What’s the atmosphere like during a rehearsal?
Tha atmosphere is wonderful. We get a lot done but it does not feel like work. It's just fun and natural. We throw jokes and ideas back and forth, and everyone is very respectful towards each other. It reminds me of my Theater class. It's just fun and productive.
9. How has Paradoja allowed you to showcase/explore you individual talent?
What I love about Paradoja, is that there is almost no limit with what we can do. With an improv or Theater class they always say "Oh you can't do this, you shouldn't say that." But with Paradoja they want you do push the envelope, say what you want to say, act the way you want. They don't make you limit yourself and they want to hear you speak. So Paradoja helped my just be myself. Which is really a wonderful thing.
