00:00You know, after more than 10 years in New York, I'm excited to be back working with fellow Latinos.
00:10Melchior is a character that I identify with his philosophical temperament, his search for knowledge, his curiosity,
00:18his willingness to stand up and have these difficult conversations and speak up when things are not growing right.
00:25I think that requires a lot of courage and it comes through the age and having experience and learning.
00:31You know, I'm able to embody that sort of energy.
00:35Well, I think it's always important to read the script, both through the material, the research, the time period.
00:41And, you know, it's a continuous play. In rehearsals, you go through the scenes and you discover new things with
00:48your scene partner being present.
00:51It's all an exploration process.
00:53And I think what's most important to me is to always go back to the script and the lines and
00:58what they're saying and what's happening.
01:00Because it's very easy to get carried away with the themes and the drama of it all.
01:04But when you're not specific about your teach moment and what's going on, the storytelling is not as clear.
01:10So I always try to go back to that.
01:12You know, after more than 10 years in New York, I'm excited to be back working with fellow Latinos.
01:18You know, we did so much art, we did so much performance.
01:20It's just a nice community to be a part of.
01:22And I'm happy that it's in the Sandbox and of show that it's as wonderful as Spring Awakening.
01:27Performing such an iconic role like Melchior and in a new space at the Rockwell Black Spots.
01:36We'll see you next time.
01:37We'll see you next time.
01:40Bye.
