Film and acting classes. I got on a train went to the address in the big city. I was met with a strange new world. Alien like. A species I’d never seen or thought existed. Odd strong aggressive forward thinking women who wore long dresses and boots. Men or boys that smoked a lot and looked a lot cooler than me. I was the alien. I did not belong me a working class lad. The class started, it was too much for me; young wannabe actors screaming at each other, coiling in the fetal position desperate for adulation and applause. Me in my work attire(shorts and dirty t’shirt) made an attempt for the door this was not for me. .... “you! where are you going”...Her voice high authoritative. “ come out front” ..... a young girl stood in front of me. The acting exercise was explained as thus. “your boyfriend cheated on you”......This young delicate wee thing exploded into a hostile verbiage that I was not expecting. I stood their silent, my world imploding every molecule of me screaming for escape, terrified, mortified embarrassed the emasculation and horror in front of an audience an audience i’d never been in front of in my entire fuckin life! (What the fuck am I doing). Thankfully it ended the first and last experience of acting i ran for the door fuck this shit. Done ! “Where are you going young man”. I turned. #rosalbaclemente teacher the iconic #australian theatre queen and now( present day ) director of all great theatre in Australia said. “Come here now young man” She asked the young students who observed this improvisation what they thought. All were unanimous that the young actress was amazing I agreed. I just wanted to get the fuck out of there. Rose stood quietly and said.” No what you saw was a character terrified , a character speechless clueless. Dominic was terrified. Dominic was speechless clueless he and the character were as one”. ( never forgot that.) Rose took me aside and said I want you to come to ATYP. (AUSTRALIAN THEATRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE). If not for Rose?」12月7日 14時38分
