…’m not an actor. I don’t get it, really. I never had the ambition to be an actor. To be honest, I find actors quite courageous and brave people. I mean, they stand on stage every night, exposed, open. They get a lot of good energy, but that makes them also vulnerable to judgement and criticism. I don’t think people realise how tough this profession can be for a person’s emotional health. So I respect actors too much to taint their craft with my la…

One Person, Two Looks: Photo Session with Errol

…part of my life, I like making people laugh. Who are your top 5 favourite actors/actresses? E: Daniel Day Lewis: an amazing method actor, completely dives into his character and always slam dunks a great performance. Jim Carey: just an amazing all-round actor, in comedy and drama but also a very pure and truthful person. He has been a great inspiration for me from a very young age. Julia Roberts: quite a diverse actress, she can really take you i…

A Love for Acting: Interview with Mike Phillips Gomez

…ve a varied creative background. When did you know you wanted to become an actor as well? What sparked this idea in your mind? Oh wow, I guess I didn’t really know I wanted to become an actor until after I started doing it. At first, like many things I have interest for, it was from an urge to feed my curiosity. My love for film persuaded me to step into the world behind the screen and acting sort of revealed itself to me. I started to take classe…

From New York to Amsterdam: Shea Elmore

…which was an incredible experience for both of us. But due to a number of factors in the States (such as short holidays and high costs of overseas flights), we never felt we could truly explore the world beyond the superficial tourist hotspots. We wanted to challenge ourselves and our perspectives to see how other parts of the world thrive, so an international move felt like the natural choice for us. Are you still happy with this decision? How do…

A Day on a Film Set

…ngled during the break, before they started shooting again. I followed the actors everywhere, including outside for the outdoor scenes. After a couple of hours I was exhausted — and that only from following them around and taking some photos. I left the set at 7pm but the crew stayed there until 9-10 in the evening. With Cintia being a perfectionist, who needs to make sure each and every detail is exactly as it should be, I would expect them to st…

Life in the Time of Coronavirus (5)

…1: Be happy with what you have (and what you don’t have). I am a freelance actor, performer & host, so my work days don’t exactly follow the standard 9-5 office time, which has given me a lot of freedom in how I organise my daily life — a freedom I have greatly cherished and enjoyed. I am a very social person. I love going out, I love meeting new people, I love a good Saturday night out. I love travelling. My family is from Bulgaria so I also ofte…

Theatre Evening: ‘Red’ by John Logan

…to convince him to adapt to the new art world. The dynamic between the two actors is constructed admirably. In the end the characters connect to each other and the relationship grows before our eyes, becoming more similar to the one of father-son. The line that remained with me after the show was, “He didn’t have art to protect him anymore … who could survive that?” This is a line that, in my opinion, tells a lot about every artist’s life, a line…

Theatre Review: Tribes

Posted by Dana Marin | Mar 5, 2019 | All Photos, Culture and Events

How effective is our way of communicating? Do we make ourselves understood when we have something to say? How well do we understand others? Are we really listening? Are all families dysfunctional? Why aren’t there any theatre plays for deaf people? All these questions and many others were going through my mind while cycling back home after seeing Tribes. It was the first play of the season for me, and the kick-off for Orange Theatre Company. The…

Theatre Review: The Importance of Being Earnest

Posted by Dana Marin | Nov 8, 2018 | All Photos, Culture and Events, Lifestyle

As I mentioned before, this autumn is rich in English-spoken theatre plays. Just the other night, I saw the third one on my list: The Importance of Being Earnest, by QETC. I was dead tired after a crazy day at work, I could barely keep my eyes open and all I wanted that evening was to curl up on the couch doing something that wouldn’t require any thinking or human interaction skills (such as watching a stupid TV show). But I didn’t want to miss t…
