1. Describe what Paradoja Studios means to you.
- Paradoja has become a second home for me. It’s a place to go to and just experience and say what you want. It’s a voice, an important one for all of us.
2. How long have you been a member of the Paradoja family?
- I just joined right before the first show. I played bass for the opening and began to work as a crew and eventually cast.
3. What sets Paradoja Studios apart from other groups?
- I just think Paradoja doesn’t give a shit what people think. We put together a show for ourselves really, and hope the audience can connect. Then, it’s onto the next show. We don’t want to be caught in the same thing, like clockwork. We want to evolve and take chances. I’m not accusing other troupes from not taking chances. There are so many great troupes out there.
4. What has it been like to see Paradoja Studios grow, develop and change over the past few years?
- Really rewarding, for sure. I can say that I’ve helped put together original dramas, slapstick comedies, screwball comedies, farcical ones, etc. It started with such a small cast and crew and now we’re a giant family. I’m super stoked with the way things have turned out.
5. What have you learned from Paradoja so far?
- I’ve learned to actually try. I would never go on stage and perform, but now I know it’s alright. It’s alright to fuck up. It’s alright to do whatever you want as long as you can be proud of it.
6. What is the rehearsal/meeting process like?
- It’s like a family party you actually want to go to. Fun, crazy, but still productive.
7. How did you get started with Paradoja?
- I was on vacation, messaging Mike Pagano asking him about the show and how I was going to see it. Eventually, he asked me to be a part of the show.
8. Are you a member of the cast or crew?
- Both! We’re all both really, haha
9. If you look back to when you first joined Paradoja, do you think Paradoja Studios turned in to what you thought it was going to?
- Yes, definitely. It’s exactly what I thought it would be, trying new things, exploring the world through different things.
12. What do you think of Mike Pagano? What have you learned from him personally and professionally?
- He’s a brother to me, so happy to have him in my life. He’s easy to work with and I always have a great time with him. Plus, he has dope taste in music.
