Academy : workshop with Cristian Ruiz

Have you ever met somebody that you wuld define " pure talent", a person who seems to have electricity running through his body and at the same time be the most quiet person in the world?
Well, I actually met that somebody : his name is Cristian Ruiz ( www.cristianruiz.com) , a great italian musical performer who was in town with the national tour of Hairspray, the musical from which inspired the movie with John Travolta.
I saw him ( I mean Cristian) on tv and on youtube, bought his cd but never had to chance to meet him personally...finally the chance came!
Now, this gorgeous performer is so humble, so relaxed and yet he's able to fill you with such an incredible energy and won't let you stop working until he's not satisfied!Second and third year student had two days workshop with him, working on one of his most important show : Rent ( a great musical by Jonathan Larson, inspired by Puccini's La Bohème )
The class was so into it that we've forgot things like hunger, thirst, tireness...all the people involved wanted to do their best and they did..it was a great success and we managed to live an intense experience, to work with a person who lives of his dreams*_* I'm literally in love with his talent, his power, his energy...and if dreams really comes true, one of my newest dream is to work with him someday, somehow! *_*

here's the picture he kindly took with me outside the theater after the show

Thank you so much!!!!

Congratulations! It is wonderful to meet someone you admire. I am happy for you ;) Are his parents from Spain? I say that because his surname, "Ruiz".

On the other hand, I am not an expert in musicals, and I didn't know "Rent" was based on "La Bohème". I love this opera!!!

his grandparents are spanish, you're right :P ( yes, Ruiz is a particular surname here in Italy :D )
I do love La bohème too! You should listen " seasons of love" from Rent, you would love it!

Hi, Jiujiu! How are you?

As I wrote in my blog, I haven't received your DVD, when did you send it?

On the other hand, they ask for a password to download the files of "A tale..." you put in my blog, do you have that password? Thank you again!
