43 | How to Create a One Person Show

On this episode of Act Bold, I dive into an incredibly inspiring conversation with New York actress Dahjn Marie Gomez. She's hitting the road with her powerful one-woman show, "I Am Not a Monolith," which explores what it means to be both African American as well as a woman told through they eyes of a series of created characters. If you've ever toyed with the idea of creating your own one-person show, this is the episode you can't afford to miss.We delved deep into the nitty-gritty of putting a show together and the ins and outs of booking it. And it didn't stop there; we tackled some hard-hitting topics like classism, colorism, body-shaming, and the profound need for acceptance. It was a conversation that opened my eyes in so many ways, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you. So, buckle up and get ready for an episode that's as enlightening as it is engaging! 00:00 Introduction and Guest Presentation00:30 Guest's Journey into Acting01:46 Discussion on One Woman Show02:40 Exploring the Themes of the Show06:32 The Process of Writing a One Woman Show10:29 The Importance of Representation in Acting16:30 The Challenges of a One Woman Show23:17 Addressing Classism and Colorism in Acting24:25 Discussing Stereotypes and Classism25:05 Addressing Weight and Body Image Issues26:02 Stereotypes in the Acting Industry28:43 Challenging Prejudices and Stereotypes29:23 The Importance of Travel and Exposure30:06 Selling and Pricing a One-Person Show33:03 The Art of Creating a One-Person Show41:31 Acting Boldly and Accepting Yourself44:34 Creating Your Own Work45:05 Conclusion and Contact Information ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ ➡️ Want to see how I could help you?
