Presenting 2010's Cycle 6... SOUL VISIONARY PRODUCTIONS!

                                           

                                  

PreBranding

In the beginning of the process, I didn't even know what Branding was, what it was about, and what it consists of. I knew that my fellow group members were aware of Branding from the previous years because they were apart of the amazing Stage Life Production Company
for 2 years in a row. I really enjoyed the process of building our company because it really taught me how to work with a group and accomplish so many things with a short amount of time. Also, it was a competition as well so it strived me even more to try and make our company more intriguing than the other company. Also being apart of the branding experience made me get a taste of the buissness world because I never got to see that before. With creating a playbill, newsletter, menu, website and lookbook for our fashion magazine. But overall it was an amazing experience and I couldn't ask for better group members. We worked together as a team which got everything finished successfully.

Post-Branding

The Day of Branding : September 27th 2010. The very first time I had to win the hearts of professionals to choose our company ' Soul Visionary Productions'. That day I was really nervous because this was the very first time that I have ever done an extreme presentation and was around such high status professionals. But as the ambiance was set and the moderators were speaking, I realized that being nervous will bring me anywhere. So I threw my nervousness away and just starting being myself. The branding day was amazing because everything ran smoothly and just the way we wanted everything to be. I really enjoyed the fact that I was acknowledged by the ilumnai from the pervious years and the professional buisness guests that came along because not that much people can get that opportunity. Overall, the Branding presentation was amazing and for my first experience, it was best experience. 

& on that note...

 WE DID IT ! After our hard work, everything  has finally paid off! SOUL VISIONARY PRODUCTIONS IS A GO! I would love to thank all the ladies that made this possible: Ashani Jodha, Monique Pitt, Krystle Grange, Sharisa Munshaw, Rochelle Erkskine, Sophia Nguygen, Jenisha Palmer, Larisa Rudder, Jasleen Batth, Kandice Smith and Ramona Persuad. Without you ladies, I wouldn't of even known about Branding a production at all, God Bless you guys and I love you ladies with all my heart. 

So You Think You Can Dance Canada .

Woooow, what an amazing trip we have just had recently. I just started my blog so I haven't got to pour out my thoughts on what happend. But to sum it up in one word, I would say that it was seriously, abosolutely  AMAAAAAAAAAAAZINNNNNG. Before we went on the trip my amazing acting teacher Mrs. Kim Thomas has proposed to us an assignment to do during the trip. She told us that we had to become a character totally different from our personalities, andwhen we get to the show become that character almost the whole time. In my mind I was like "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" How am I going to stick to a character the whole time?!"

But she said that it helps you know more about method acting, which I really wanted to know more about. So the characters that she chose for us was to be overly friendly, a groupie of either a  dancer judge, claustrpphobic, a security guard, a casting directior or scout, a manager, a dancer or last but not least, a celebrity. This was very funny to me but yet serious because I was wondering if our class could really pull it off. So the character I chose was overly friendly, meaning that I was happy about EVERYTHING.

When we got to the So You Think You Can Dance studio, that's when our class wasn't afraid to establish into their character. We have already gotten the stares and looks but our class still didn't break out of character which was great. We almost even got kicked out of the studio for our behaviour because our character that we were playing was way too extreme.What I thought was really intersting was the fact that the public BELIEVED everything that we were doing. It's not about fooling them, and causing them to be really gullible, but it was the fact that since we BELIEVED that we were that character, the public believed it as well.

So, in the end the trip was AMAZING, the dancers were INCREDIBLE and I can't wait to go back.

Maybe we can unpack another method acting assignment soon!

The Essence Of an Actor.

How do you grasp the essence of the actor?

This question has been pondering in my mind for the longest time. But now I have realized to catch the essence of the actor. The essence of an actor not only defines you as a character, but it defines mainly everything about you. By knowing the essence of the actor it mainly means the root as to who you are. By showing your inner being, on stage or in an audition, you are showing anything that makes you stand out as an actor. Whether it could be your movement, voice, appearance or your whole demenor. So finding the essence of the actor is extremly important because it defines you as a performer. It defines how you are ,on stage and how the audience see you as . As of now I'm still finding my essence as an actor and I really do hope to figure that out soon, so I can showcase that to the best of my ability on stage.

This is real,THIS IS ME.

Well hello world . My  name is Maya Jones and I am an aspiring actress. Before I talk about my future goals and aspirations, Ill tell you about my life. Well,  I was born in the small town of Etobicoke Ontario, with my twin sister on July 28th 1993. I also live with my amazing mother my older sister Camille and my younger brothers (who are twins too.. yes I KNOW, ITS WEIRD). But as of now I am just living my life to the fullest. As of now I am attending one of the best schools in Brampton, Fletchers Meadow Secondary School and I am currently in the Acting Academy package. I am really blessed to be in this course, because it really does give me a chance to express myself to my amazing classmates, and on stage. Recently our class is really coming together as a family I really like that because we accept each other for who we are, not matter what race or sex.

BUUUUUUUUT , the real reason as to why I took this acting academy course is because I feel that this is my CALLING. By me saying that I feel, that God has really placed me in this course for a reason. And it is my destiny to reveal that to the world. Also, I feel that being in the acting academy course will get me more educated for the future career that I would like to pursue, which is being an Acting Teacher. I am really passionate about becoming an acting teacher because I would really love to teach aspiring actors to express themselves and reach their fullest potential.

So there you have it ! 

MAYA JONES, coming at you and doing BIG THINGS SOOON ! 

Look out for me ! ( :  

SOOO THAT'S ME.
