I didn't spend my developing years in the country that my parents are from and therefore struggle to feel "at home" anywhere, struggle with living in a place full of people all from the same place, am highly independent, value new knowledge and new viewpoints, and value a more broad world view. ]]> 2023-01-21 23:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2452099193 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2452099447 2023-01-21 23:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2452099447 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2452100412 2023-01-22 00:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2452100412 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454167463 This is one of the first books about acting that I ever read and ever worked out of my freshman year of high school. I still haven't read the full book from start to finish but it was one of the first instances that theatre was put into an academic context for me (in the sense of learning and teaching).]]> 2023-01-24 04:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454167463 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454192128 My high school theatre company was very influential to my traditions as a practitioner. There I was a part of establishing and changing multiple traditions and one of the first classes at the school. I was in the third class to graduate so I had a pretty big hand in creating the culture of my department and many of my traditions, warm-ups, artistic values, and norms come from my high school experience.]]> 2023-01-24 05:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454192128 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454221080 My culture is something that shapes who I am as a person and who I currently am as an artist. One thing that has really affected who I am is my time spent growing up overseas. My father works in oil and gas, and so in the 2nd grade we moved to Hannover, Germany, then my fourth grade year we moved to Doha Qatar, and we moved back to Houston (where I was born) my freshman year of high school. The experiences I had living and traveling the world are my most valuable. They have influenced me in ways even I cannot fully comprehend and I am very grateful.]]> 2023-01-24 06:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454221080 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454223317 This is the first musical that I became in love with and obsessed by. I consider it the first musical I have ever seen, and specifically this 2003 movie I fell in love with when I saw it for the first time in fourth grade. Phantom is still my favorite musical and holds a very special place in my heart.]]> 2023-01-24 06:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454223317 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454226304 Ken Ludwig has recently become my favorite writer/playwright. I had the privilege of performing one of his shows, Leading Ladies, as my senior year Texas UIL One-Act competition piece and it was one of my favorite experiences. I also had the privilege to see his play Lend Me A Soprano debut at the Alley Theatre in Houston this past October and it was absolutely marvelous.]]> 2023-01-24 06:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454226304 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454327026 One of my current favorite movies and movie aesthetic.]]> 2023-01-24 08:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454327026 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454331866 Music and choir have been a subtle influence on me since early grade school. I say subtle because even now after being in some form of choir for over eight years, I struggle to consider myself a musician. However, music is very important to me and I am passionate about it.]]> 2023-01-24 08:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454331866 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454335531 My friends and peers have often influenced me in very meaningful ways.

It allows for completely original art to be made that can, not only reflect the heart and soul of one person but be a window into many hearts and souls as well as creative energy that is unique to time and setting. To me, it matters because who are we if not social creatures, as humans and artists we have the ability to create amazing things.]]> 2023-01-24 09:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454366815 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454371023 In my experience, there is so much joy in finding people you connect with creatively. Flow happens where time melts and not only can it be an incredible artistic experience, but I've found that it can also build friendship and connection. Not all of my close friends are ideal creative collaborators but there is a meaningful bond that can develop from sharing a creative experience.]]> 2023-01-24 09:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454371023 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454376922 I find that in my practice of performance, learning, and honestly everyday life, I am in the habit of asking lots of questions. When acting I will ask questions about my character or the script, in my everyday life I might ask questions about my own thoughts and feelings, and in learning, I find myself asking lots of questions pertaining to experiences that other people have. Their experiences in the world as they are different from mine or if they have vastly different opinions I find that I ask lots of questions and that I enjoy learning new things about people and the world.]]> 2023-01-24 09:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454376922 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454380984 This book I read last semester warns against categorizing people and putting them in boxes, a concept that I think is important when collaborating.]]> 2023-01-24 09:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454380984 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454381471 In her Netflix special, The Call to Courage, Brené Brown talks about how bravery can arise from engaging with our deepest vulnerabilities. After watching this special it completely changed how I communicate about conflict and how I go into acting in any facet. When communicating about conflict I use her strategies of explaining things from my reality or "the story I tell myself" and I strive to practice vulnerability in my acting and not be afraid of it.]]> 2023-01-24 09:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454381471 parisfulks https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454385351 Lately, I have been trying to breathe more actively.]]> 2023-01-24 09:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/parisfulks/vii5xk41zdnrbz3k/wish/2454385351
