Hi… Mom?
Marketing academics tell us that attracting new clientele costs roughly 5 times as much as retaining existing ones, and since Mom is the #1 fan, she’ll keep getting targeted shout outs. I grew up in Miami, FL and have found my way into performance ever since I was a wee lad performing at Tae Kwon Do exhibitions (Dad took us every Saturday, we cried together when we earned our black belts). I can drive a stick-shift, flip and catch a crêpe in a pan, and have a pretty top-notch cart wheel.
After graduating from the University of Miami (BBA), I moved to New York to train as an actor. I was lucky to start my work with students in the Columbia MFA program as an actor used in scenes run for classroom discussion. I learned a great deal from the faculty there, and through it met the wonderful director Peter Miner, who invited me to take his scene study course at the Terry Schreiber Studio in Chelsea. Peter is a fantastic teacher, and he guided me towards the next chapter of my training, a two year Meisner program I attended at Playhouse West Brooklyn. Under the instruction of actors Jim Parrack and Andrea Dantas, I learned what it meant to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances, to connect myself deeply to my work, and most of all, to give myself freely to my partner. It was my first experience into theater, and it was magic. All of the things I’d never been asked to say or never had the courage to do had a place on stage. I had been bitten, willingly.
Moving forward, my dream is to work on projects that deal in truth with passionate people who challenge themselves and their craft to new heights. I want to connect the mundane to the absurd, bridge the concrete to the abstract, and connect to strangers in the special way that only art can achieve. I’m terribly fortunate to have found this path in life and hope to share it with you.
talk soon,
Alex
