On The Rise - Caroline

I started working with Almasi in 2014 and the experience has been quite enlightening and eye-opening for me as an artist. Almasi through its staged readings and training workshops helped me grow artistically. Critically analyzing scripts and unpacking all the important nuances and understanding the journey of each character without judging them. Being able to see the play through the writer’s eye. What I hold more dear to me is the journey with Andre Holland during the Almasi Master Acting Class and how he managed to teach me how to express every thought in a dialogue and not take for granted every word in a script. Shakespeare was a challenge for me but his work was made easier by Andre when he understood my background and allowed me to explore in the best way possible without emulating other actors who had done Shakespeare before. I owe a lot to Almasi as it has made me grow in my craft.
