Thespianity is the way I chose to name my belief when it comes to acting, as in my religiosity. I have a view that comes from my experience and training, but also has developed over the past years as a result of my learning and growth through writing. A methodist actor as the basis of my approach, I rely mostly on the way the characters feel for me, often using the same method or techniques to develop the character for writing. My second semester of college in 2004, included a briefing on the beginning of theater, genres, styles, and techniques, from past to present, with an introduction to acting, theater production, playwriting, and an end of semester essay on a theatrical presentation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In 2013 and 2014, I further developed my technique with Voice and Physical Technique Workshops with Cristina Contreras and Alejandra Arauz as part of the Productiones Talingo Troup – Training and workshops continued during the plays I participated in, with focus on breathing and singing techniques, such as the Fitzmoritz practice and tremoring, and voice projection, while Alejandra Arauz coached the team in character development for the stage.
