3 Countries - 2 Solos - 1 Show

The blurb from our May 2011 Open Theatre Show

我們2011年五月份的演出簡介

Who hasn't been there: facing the challenges and pleasures of communicating with someone so seemingly different from yourself? On May 7 and 8, two solo shows created by "local" actors will join forces to create a unique theatre experience about the journey of being abroad. In a combination of English and Chinese, these two MIT (Made in Taiwan) stories and characters will truly "Touch Your Heart."

誰不曾遇過要面對與看似和自己不同的人溝通而產生的挑戰及樂趣？五月七日、八日兩齣有兩位「當地」外國人聯手打造獨特有關旅居國外的戲劇經驗。結合中、英文的MIT(台灣製造)過市及角色的卻可以Touch Your Heart!

Josh on Sunny FM 89.1 Josh周日(4/24)的電台訪問會16:00-17:00播

I was interviewed by Douglas Habecker (Editor of Taichung's Compass Magazine) for Sunny radio yesterday. The interview will air Sunday afternoon (April 24) from 16:00-17:00 (FM 89.1). Douglas is a wonderful host and made me feel quickly at ease and it didn’t take long before we talked up a storm. We discussed how Katie and I met (through Taichung Improv), our lives in Taiwan, the ups and downs and how we came up with the idea of Solo Taiwan. We talked about Pavarotti and the local Mafia (both which feature strongly in my play): Pavarotti because he chose Taichung as part of his farewell world tour and the mafia because Taichung is known as the gangster’s capital of Taiwan. (Gasp!) Oh yes, and that’s not all. Add a little bit of a love story and you have a winning combination for some intriguing drama and comedy. Tune in to Sunny FM at 89.1 on Sunday to hear the full story.

KT was unable to come down from Taipei (due to work obligations) so I discussed her play as well. Hope she’ll forgive me as I’m sure I might have added or left out important stuff. I did throw in “identity”, “language barriers” and “cultural differences”.  I might have even used impressive phrases like” bridging the cultural divide” “jin de ma?” and

“One day I will speak Chinese just like her!”

The other thing that I did make sure to include was that she’s the only  “foreigner” I know who eats and LOVES stinky tofu, which made someone come up with the remark that she’s a fake foreigner……Heavens! Fake foreigner! What does that mean?  Well in her play her character takes the very aptly named and totally hilarious FAT (Foreigner Authenticity Test). You’ll have to come and see the play to see whether she passes.

You can hear the broadcast live at 4pm tomorrow (April 24) online here:

Josh's Bio

Josh Myers graduated from “The Method Actors’ Training Centre” in Pretoria in 1994 with a major in Method Acting. Method Acting is based on the teachings of Stanislavsky and was perfected by Lee Strasburg in the USA. He has toured his native South Africa’s Art Festival circuit extensively with workshop productions, scripted plays and educational theater both as an actor and a director. He was also lucky enough to work behind the scenes on numerous commercial- and movie sets.

Josh Myers(中文名:齊飛) 1994年畢業位於普利托里亞(南非行政首都)之方法表演者訓練中心，主修方法演技。方法演技是建立在史坦尼斯拉夫斯基的教學基礎上，並且被李．史特拉斯堡將之表演方法引介至美國。Josh曾多次在南非藝術節做巡迴演出(與表演者討論演出內容)、劇本演出、有教育性質的劇團(教導孩子戲劇表演)，在這其中不只是演員也兼具導演、指導者的身分。他很幸運地可以在眾多的商業廣告及電影拍攝場進行幕後工作。

Always an adventurer at heart, when the opportunity arrived to work and live in Taiwan he grabbed it with both hands. Although he hated it at first (he had major culture shock!) he soon made friends, got used to all the weird and wonderful food, learned a bit of Chinese and gradually learned to love it here. Now he never wants to leave!

Josh總是秉持一顆冒險者的心。當他有機會可以到台灣工作並且居住的時候，他緊緊抓住了這個機會不讓它溜走。儘管，他初到台灣時不太喜歡這裡(由於太大的文化衝擊)，但他在這很快地交了朋友，習慣對他而言所有奇怪卻又美味的食物，學習一點點中文，並且漸漸地學習愛上台灣。現在，他一點也不想要離開台灣了!

在2006年，Josh在台灣拿到了美國北威吉尼亞大學－TESOL碩士，主要是為了延續自己對戲劇的教學熱忱。目前，在台灣教導戲劇、即興演出以及ESL。

He is also the founding member of the award winning troupe - Taichung Improv - which performs Improvisational Comedy in addition to being the Artistic Director of the annual 24hour Play Festival in Taichung.

在台灣，Josh參與無數的舞台表演，並且跟不同的表演團體合作- 其中最著名的是INXing的作品－Little Light Big Jungle，並且與台北的演員合作指導Chekov’s的The Bear 一劇。另外，他也是得過獎項的劇團­－Taichung Improv 之創辦成員。Taichung Improv 不但表演即興喜劇，而且也是每年的台中二十四小時戲劇節的藝術總監。

His one man show “Arrivals/Departures” was first performed at the Stock 21 Experimental Theater as part of the Stock 20 Arts Festival and was enthusiastically received by audiences.
