I'm not gonna lie... I was muy nervosa going in to this evening. First class studying with Wynn Handman. Can I tell you, I felt like I was at a family reunion (hence the title).
Arriving early-- clear sign of a newbie-- I made my way to a safe center seat on the center row, and observed the room. Within moments I was engaged in conversation with several folks around me and moments later I found myself being hugged. True, I had met the person whose arms were around my neck. I must explain the fun, roundabout way I know Dain...
Working as a barista in the fine neighborhood of TriBeCa, I came to know many of the locals. One being a fellow by the name of Paul. Now, Paul would begrudgingly admit that he is well-known around the neighborhood because of his dog Hubert. This animal is large enough to ride weighing in at 110 lbs. So anyway, I know Paul. We talk theatre, film, books and have become good friends. One of Paul's favorite topics is his daughter, Dain. As all fathers do, he raves about her and constantly gives me updates on her acting career-- by the way, I saw her work tonight, and she is truly talented. No nepotism there! So, I remember he'd mentioned she was studying with Wynn and so when I got accepted to study with him as well, he told her and thus I had a friend Day 1!
But back to the class, its just so wonderful to be in an environment that is insanely supportive, nerves are high because everyone wants to do good work, Wynn is like Papa Bear. I mean, I sneezed at one point and 8 people blessed me! I love actors. Its definitely going to be a good place to grow from! Absolutely worth the investment!
