Angel Caballero / Look at the camera One of the most exciting things of being an actor is to work with people in you life watching television. During all these years I have witnessed their work in theater and on such shows as "Lex", "Commissioner," "Brothers & Detectives" and more recently in "Valiant." Now I have the good fortune to debut in Microteatro money with her, in a feature entitled "The life you deserve." After a month of rehearsals, once past the nerves of the premiere and many tips to keep with all my love, I have the pleasure to interview my colleague, Belinda Washington.
camera Look: What most of Microteatro seduced you to want to join? Belinda
Washington: When a project I like, I throw head. The proposal made me Jaime Palacios to make "The life they deserve," I liked from the start and I did not think twice. I'm planting in a project that I absolutely and I am working with colleagues with whom I want to be. Do not think this will affect us much economically. I do not do it for money, I do it for love of my work. When you like something you have to put all the wood on the fire to things that are born there.
Mac: We had already agreed on several courses of interpretation before this work. After many years of office, why do you keep taking courses?
BW: Because you never stop learning. I think that when you think you know everything is when, somehow, you start to die. This is a wonderful profession where we are always learning from work, observing others, to know oneself to know the things you have to continue to refine ...
Mac: "You've come to think you knew everything?
BW: No. I always thought I have a lot to learn.
Mac: I always giving you tips and tricks to teach me drama. I suppose they are things that you know works, because the have lived. Do you still follow ocurriéndote new things on stage?.
BW: course. And I hope to remain so for many years, so I'm in the Microteatro, by the experience ... It is important to be good companion and generous to the person before you. Think that if the other is brilliant, the product is going to look and you too. I try to be generous in my private life and at work too.
Mac: In "The life they deserve," we have the audience practically integrated into the scene. Do you like or bothers you that feeling?
BW: I like being in what I have to be. Listening and receiving all that you give me. Having the audience so close makes you think a more intimate setting. I've always been in large theaters and had never done anything like that, but I'm not afraid. Microteatro space is very magical and this function has many messages. It's almost like making movies in theater, because we have to be more aware of the gaze and line of thinking which make greater corporal expression.
Mac: Six-day passes are a lot of passes ...
BW: 'm a pretty strong and I'm not afraid. It is important between function and function have a moment for us, breathe, drink some water and have a little peace to invigorate.
Mac: To me one of the things that scared me the beginning was the risk of doing mechanical. Did you this happened to you?
BW: No, because you have to rely on being in the moment by moment to do so from the truth, whatever happens. If we listen to each other and let ourselves be affected by what happens to us, there will be no problem. Although there are marks made by the director, we must also be on stage with everything going on and integrate, incorporate.
Mac: When did you know you wanted to be an actress?
BW: Since childhood I said I wanted to be an actress. I remember I liked dressing up and pretend to be another. That was my intention, not being famous, even if get to be very good, there are cases in which it is attached. We must also be lucky enough to be in the moment and in the right place. Everything is usually in the same package. But that was my ultimate ambition, but then life took me down the paths of television and before that my parents forced me to study law.
Mac: The other day a guy told me: "Is that Belinda has been a presenter, but it's still very good actress." I replied that I knew, because I have before every day. Does the slab continues to weigh anchor?
BW: has not disappeared, although I have many years without presenting and developing a program. Is a weight that hinders you for many things, sometimes. But, thank God, I think every time I go looking more actress to host. It's kind of emasculating usual we have, to think that a person can not present a program and be able to play other characters. Why someone can not do both? When you are presenting a program, in a certain way, act and give you an image that may not have anything to do with you. I have not been lucky as I happen to Bethlehem (Rueda) and that Luis San Narciso me the opportunity to work on a film with a great director as Amenábar. Even I have the hope it happens and who knows if it is through this character that has given me Jaime (Parker) in "The life you deserve."
Mac: Do you think that you need someone with a weight in the industry to trust you?
BW: I will trust. What is required is that you leave a good project and it works.
Mac: What if the projects fail?
BW: Well will be sought. I believe very strongly in the power and the desire for something to happen, but you also have to do your part and do not stay with their arms crossed waiting for the phone to ring. It should be clear that none are essential for anyone and that behind of us there are some forty thousand and better.
Mac: What if tomorrow one of your daughters will say, "Mom, I want to be an actress"?
BW: is something that I ever thought because as a mother you are thinking of a thousand things. I guess I just try to transmit you the good things about this profession, and also the bad, and I would advise them believe in their vocation. If you are clear, I'll try to help them as much as you can, but it's also good to plow a path for themselves. What you are working with persistence and dedication, has more value than if the door is wide open. It is important valuing things.
Mac: In "The life they deserve," plays another mother. What the public will find when you come to us?
BW: Something very different from anything I've done before. Milagros, my character is a woman whom life has left badly burned and destroyed. Load is very different from other dramatic roles I've played. The closest may be the character did in "The Commissioner", but theater is the first time I do something. Are usually set far in my warmth and I would ever call me to make a bad or dictatorial woman who was herself.
Mac: Do interviews you've done to people like Madonna or Ricky Martin have helped to unfold best when you touched be interviewed?
BW: of everything you learn. It's very exciting to be in front of the big, and realize they are human beings like you, though its scale is very large media. Do not be afraid of improvisation and vacuum means that anything can happen. When you direct Curtes you very much, because, as in life, there is always something that surprises you.
Mac: you still have dreams to fulfill?
BW: lot of them. I have not yet begun. In that, I I feel like I was eighteen. Hope to get to the age of Maria Luisa Merlo , with which I was doing theater recently, and be equally active mind and body as she is. I look forward to enjoying, as we are, in Microteatro for money with this feature, and you know it's still a luxury to have you as a fellow traveler. Since I had wanted ...
