I have never been on Stilts till I entered în Masca Theater as a student, în 2013. There I saw for the first time 3m actors walking relaxed here and there, climbing stairs, juggling meanwhile, like it ras the most natural thing to do. So I wanted to learn it, also.
First, I ve Learned how to fall. My Stitls teacher was Valentin Mihalache, with whom I have the chance to share the stage in some of my dearest shows from that time, "Nastasia" and "Yvonne", Both directed by Mihai Malaimare.
I am so grateful to have learned this skill! You know why? Because sometimes I feel really low in my life, with everything that is happening arround. But when I get up on the stilts, I instantly come back present in my body from wherever I was wondering. Because I cannont not be there, otherwise I fall. And you don't want to fall, caouse you will hurt innocent children and people that are arround you. Plus you can hurt yorself. You don't want this to happen. Now, Im a stitwalker with over 12 years of experience
Well, if you want to have a Stiltwalker for whatever event/show you are creating, share with me that idea and let's see if we can make it reality!
