A Dream Called Cinema and Theater

Act 1: The First Steps in Oviedo Scene 1 : Carlos's Office (The stage is filled with film magazines and a whiteboard with notes on actors. Carlos is at his desk, reviewing interview recordings. Ana enters excitedly, holding a coffee.) -Ana: (excited) Carlos! Your interview with Javier was incredible! All of Oviedo is talking about it. -Carlos: (looking at the screen) Yes, but I feel like I need something more. I want people to feel what I feel when I talk to them. -Ana: (resting her hand on Carlos's shoulder) So why don't you take a chance? Make a documentary about the process of actors in your city. People need to see the effort behind fame. -Carlos: (thoughtfully) That could work, but do you think anyone would be interested? -Ana: (determined) Of course! There's an audience that wants to know what's real. Your passion can resonate.  (Carlos smiles, feeling the spark of a new idea. He stands up from his chair, full of energy.)

1. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I was twelve when I saw my first musical – Starlight Express – and I was immediately hooked. I grew up watching and loving movies, but musical theater was a whole new level. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen and the coolest thing I could imagine myself doing for the rest of my life. However, it wasn’t until my mid 20s that I had the courage to pursue an artistic career. I had been performing in various arts all my life, so I knew that it’s not so much about talent, but about the work you put into honing your craft. So, I decided to go all in and see what happens. 2. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No. In fact, there was a time of about six months when we barely spoke to each other. But then they came around and decided to not just allow me to do it, but actually support me in doing it. Both of them were very proud when they...

I am still a child so this question is irrelevant, but to answer it was pretty good. It is still. When I was seven I started the whole acting and singing career. When I was eight I decided to quit going physically school and became homeschooled which helped a lot. I was going to castings a lot in those days and I remember how tired I was every single day, going to school, working in the theatre at that time, and traveling a lot to casting to ...

1.- Can you tell us a little about your background as an actress and coach? How did you get started in these two disciplines? My journey as an actress began in Puglia, where I discovered my passion for the stage and acting. That experience pushed me to explore different realities, leading me to work not only in Italy but also in international contexts such as Colombia and Ecuador, where I had the opportunity to deepen and enrich my artistic background. At the same time, my desire to share this experience and help other artists communicate their identity authentically led me to pursue coaching. I developed methods and strategies that I later compiled in my books Crea la tua Identità and La Comunicazione dell’Artista Vincente, with the goal of providing practical tools for building a strong and genuine personal brand. Ultimately, my experience as an actress and coach stems from the belief that art, combined with authentic communication, is the key to breaking boundaries and creating mean...
