ワタシとコトバ
Having worked as an actor from the age of nine, the weight of words has always been a part of my life. Being able to convey the writer’s intent when they wrote the words, finding new interpretations within the words, the understanding that words are just the surface and how you convey them is an essential part of bringing words to others. Your choice in words, how you use your voice, body, and face to convey those words will drastically affect how the other person receives your message.
ワタシとセカイ
I grew up all around the world. It’s hard for me to say exactly where I am from. Each culture has left its mark on my identity. The one thing I can say is that we are all much more alike than we are different. Finding the common thread between you and another person is the first step in understanding people of other cultures. The less you “other” people who you think seem different from you, the more open you will be to new worlds and ways of thinking.
