There are actors of all cultures and nationalities,
and when exercising their craft in another culture;
that task becomes a challenging experience. The
hardest part of this challenge might be realizing
and accepting one's personal and cultural
differences. For some actors this can result in
years of self-struggle, and attempts to either
dismiss their culture completely, or fully embrace
their own culture and close the doors to any other
ways of thinking. Through a personal experience of a
Turkish actress in the United States, this book
documents a journey from seeing foreignness as a
handicap, to the realization that being a foreign
actor can have many rewards. A good source for any
actor performing for an audience who shares a
different cultural background than him/her. Also a
beneficial study for every other theatre artist, as
the world is getting smaller and our neighborhoods
more diverse. Plus, we never know where we might be
working next!
