The techniques of Michael Chekov. Dialect politics in theatre. Oa-Kanda! All of these things and more are part of the discussions of this episode of The Yay with our guest Carolina Morones. Carolina is a Latina singer, dancer and actress – I shared the stage with her when we did Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. She joins Norman and I and shares her experience doing bay area theatre, her background, and where she sees herself in the future.
Carolina is also teaching three classes at ACT this summer:
Acting III (beginning June 14);
Acting III 0- Contemporary Latinex Scene Study (starts July 19), and Master Class: Intro to Michael Chekhov Technique (in person 1 day - August 8).
Radhika Rao (Episodes 21 and 131) is also teaching at ACT this summer (Let's Talk the Dialogue in Daily Life) June 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, 30; July 5, 7
