AEA Actor - Jessi Blue Gormezano - News http://jessiblue.com/news.html Jessi Blue Gormezano: News Jannis' PHPRss class - http://www.jannis.to/ Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:08:47 -0700 This Week's Film Work http://jessiblue.com/news.html#18 After shooting a short film Whiskey On The Rocks by Gabriella Willenz, a NYU film student, I realized a few things:


A) Shooting in Central Park granted me the chance to make a little soccer playin' boy laugh...and snort


B) Not so much that my acting was hilarious, but the fact that I was clad in nothing but a bathing suit & water wings while sporting melted ice cream on my face did the trick


C) Singing karaoke off-key in a tight sequin dress while people use fans to blow my teased hair, is fun


D) I'm excited about seeing the final project since everyone involved was so innovative and generous


The second film project I just completed was a promotional video for the amazing company, Working Voices.  They're a team of highly skilled communication experts who target their training to members of the corporate world.  In the video, I had portraying a "hatchet-faced" executive assistant and had way too much fun judging the hapless hero as he tried to navigate through a presentation without the help of the Working Voices team.

Rehearsals are going well and I'm consistently shocked to discover that these three different woman are so, so present in my imagination.  Who knew Delberta, a two hundred pound WV-raised hair dresser lived inside of me?  If you are in the city, I'd love to have you catch Mark My Words on May 7th at 9pm at TADA! Theatre.  Check out the "CALENDAR" portion of my website for details on my first self-written performance in NYC!mark my words postcard

Shooting the short film "Crafty Chicks" in Woodside, Queens was a wild time and I'm looking forward to working with some new faces this Sunday for the comedic web series episode, "Left Behind."  I'll be posting them as soon as possible!

Ridiculously talented actors will be setting their original monologues or scenes in this gem of an Irish pub in New York City.


Check out the facts:


First Wednesday of every month, 8-9:45pm.


The bartender is an actor.


He or she will serve drinks to the audience and maybe even to some of the actors.


Each night will consist of approximately 10 pieces that will flow into each other creating a spontaneous and varied night of theater.


You can bargain for an Irish ballad from a drunken crooner, a batty ex-Broadway dancer's wisdom, or a divorcee's shocking story spilled out to the bartender. Who knows what awaits? Beer and bad ass theater, that's what.

"CAESAR REVERSE is, as its namesake implies, Michael Hogwood's backwards adaptation of Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR--beginning with Act Five, Scene Five, and ending at Ace One, Scene Two. The action is set in a timeless, in-between world dictated by a typewriter and a mysterious Seer who exists both outside and within the context of the play, influencing and observing the characters and offering the Audience a chance to witness how simply a tragedy is made."

Also, there will be beer and delicious Tex-Mex food to enjoy after the catharsis. Nothing like Greek tragedy to stimulate the appetite!

I'm very excited to be a part of this new project.]]> http://jessiblue.com/news.html#6 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700 AEA Actor - Jessi Blue Gormezano - News
