A New Look and Other News


You may of noticed recently that Massage Essential has taken on a new look.  Over the past 3 weeks, I’ve been working with graphic designer extraordinaire, Lynn Rawden (http://www.interrabang.com/) to overhaul every aspect of the business’ image from the logo, colors, pictures and text.  She also pointed out to me how easy it is to start a Facebook page for one’s business. Check it out:  go to http://www.facebook.com/MassageEssentialOfSanMiguel to see pictures, more info and links  related to Massage Essential.  It’s been a very easy, fun and creative process and I do highly recommend Lynn for any of your graphic design and web development.   
          In between designing, giving massage and continuing with the house construction, I have been wrapping up a few busy months in the theatre.  In June, I acted in the Playreaders presentation of Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun by Norm Foster. The second and third weeks of July, I played Brother Felix in the Michael Hollinger comedy, Incorruptible and last week it was back with Playreaders again portraying Billy in Better Late by Larry Gelbart. 
Recently, my interest in improvised acting has been roused after an 8-year hiatus.  Joseph Bennett, here in San Miguel, has put together a group of actors of various skill levels which meets every Monday night to hone one’s abilities in this very fun style of acting.  The improvised form of theatre uses no script, but instead uses a variety of games involving audience suggestions of place, characters and situations.  It is immensely helpful in learning to think on your feet and build confidence all through a variety of theatre games.  Also, Joseph and his partner, Eli Hans, periodically offer acting classes and workshops throughout the year.  You can contact them at joseph@artbybennett.com and www.actingclasses.webs.comMay your inner thespian be roused as well!
