Oh, digital world….how complicated and helpful you can be sometimes. And we gradually become more and more dependent on it. My iPhone, which I had for 5 years now, has been working perfectly throughout all these years. However, it has a 16GB memory space and that is why I have to keep all of my photos on iCould. And it is a huge disadvantage sometimes! I always have to have internet connection in order to view images and videos from previous years or sometimes even weeks. When my internet is week or the traffic ends closer to the end of the month, there is absolutely no way any of these files can load. If I can’t access such simple things without thinking “will it load this time?”, how can I rely on my organs or limbs that someday may be connected to the same iCloud? Of course, there is a long way to this matter. It won’t happen in a day or, probably, not even in 50 years. However, as the world progresses, there ...

New topic of discussion made me think about several things. First of all, how I never considered any role to be gender neutral. Second of all, how I always thought of interesting male roles that I would have loved to take over but couldn’t due to being a female. Growing up, I always took on male parts when I played with my sister, classmates or just in my imagination. For some reason, I always found male characters more appealing, challenging, risky and rich in the features of a character. It was compelling to my personality. Now that I think about this, was it because no strong female characters were present while I was growing up? They seemed either princesses, who need to be saved or feminine delicate creatures, whom I definitely wasn’t. My father introduced me to such films as Agent 007 (James Bond) and Indiana Jones. And, of course, I dreamed of becoming that badass adventurer. These are a few of examp...
What an interesting topic of conversation Kaitlin touched this week. Although I am lacking experience of living in this country and working for any type of theatres, I will try to wrestle this topic with the most respect and at my best. First of all, I am going to talk about circumstances where open conversations and options can be available. I am not taking into account a theatre or a company that have their crew and must distribute roles only among them. Let’s see if a theatre can hire absolutely anyone, who is willing to contribute their time, enthusiasm and effort. From my point of view, it is very important to create authentic look and feel of the play. If a role is meant for an African-American, Asian, Caucasian, other type of race person then we should be in search for the ones who fit the best. But there definitely are boundaries that hold us behind. To my mind comes three main reasons that prevent hiring “the right one”: budget, demographic state of the city and talent/expe...
An interesting time that we live in right now. We are the generation that will tell our kids that the world was dying and on their question “what did you do to save it?” we will probably have only one response “stayed at home.” To some extend it will be hilarious in the future, but at the meantime we can only guess how far quarantine will go. The venues are closing, concerts and shows are being cancelled, there is no space to create, you might say. Or is there? The whole world is on PAUSE right now. We are all united with the same exact issue, the population of the Earth is in the same circumstances. So, what do we do? I say, create! Imagine! Unite! I saw a meme the other day, it said something like “those who considered musicians, actors, writers not important enough, try to cope this quarantine in silence – without music, films and TV series”. How true is that? How valuable our field is especially in this tough time?! Celebrities are going even further, they are showi...
