1. Describe the rehearsal process.
There's free reign but there is control. We're given the opportunity to express our ideas and our talents, and we're also able to give people a chance to showcase their talents. We help each other out. We work hard, find our strong and weak points and work to improve them. Compared to rehearsals at my high school, our rehearsal process is very different. It's more collaborative.
2. Describe your Paradoja experience.
It's been really exciting for me. I get to work with very creative people that have crazy, creative ideas. Together, Mike and Coonan work to create very funny and meaningful works of art out of those ideas. It's very inspiring.
3. What sets Paradoja apart from other show?
The way it blends comedy and drama, the way it keeps the audience laughing, but while it keeps them thinking. It's a brave thing to do; to say things we say in a tasteful manner without suffering any consequences.
4. What is Paradoja's philosophy?
A lot of different ideas and philosophies go into Paradoja. General themes of tolerance and going against the norm, believing in yourself, even if society doesn't. Those are consistent themes throughout the shows. I think it's all intentional, it's what we want to get across. It's done through theatre.
5. Do you have a favorite character or scene?
I really enjoyed the work from "Vice Versa". I was in a hospital scene starring John Ortiz as a man on his deathbed. It was a great blend of comedy and drama.
6. Do you have any inspirations for acting, writing, or creative thinking?
It has taught me how to collectively work together with a group and combine different ideas to form a coherent story, which reflects the ideals and beliefs of all those involved.
