Star Magic Workshops x AMP Studios Does Second Hybrid Workshop in Canada

I've had word that the previous one was phenomenal (late 2022), so this really didn't come as a surprise for me to see Star Magic Training and Workshop Head Direk Rahyan Carlos and their team did a hybrid workshop in Toronto, Canada. This was done together with their partners over at AMP Studios Canada with Rechelle Everden at its helm.

It's a face to face workshop, so in a way it was quuite intense for all the participants who enrolled for the Introductory and Advanced Acting Class. It culminated on August 27 when they held their recital and it was joined by the very talented actress/comedienne Carmi Martin.

As you may already know, Direk Rahyan Carlos is one of the few people certified to teach the world renowned Chubbuck Technique. This has been used by several local actors and Hollywood A listers, so if you want to join, you're certainly welcome to do so by inquiring and visiting their page at facebook.com/Ampstudioscanada or their IG account @ampstudios_canada.

They would like to thank Mitzify Canada and Mitziville Farm and Residences for generously sponsoring the event and other AMP Studios projects.

Converse 1 Star World Tour

We hung around ETON Centris tonight with skatera, other media outlets to see the premier of #1StarWorldTour, a project by #ConversePH. It's a movie showing the skate culture as seen in different parts of the world. They got world class skate champs and walk the talk in different countries as they show around worthy tricks so they could learn and about how it is in their culture. Oh we've seen a lot!

They did Europe (I guess Spain?), Latin America (perhaps Mexico), Asia (of which I think had Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan?) of which got Converse on all of them. I'm sure these things were pretty dangerous stuff, but even if they don't know the language... The tricks and skate culture were enough to get to understand each other. That was cool. This was filmed by Richard Quintero and Ben Chadourne. This was done in 4 weeks in 4 regions, unbelievable! They gave away posters of Converse Ambassadors Don Nguyen, Bobby De Keyser,Sage Elsesser, Andrew Brophy, Jerome Campbell, Carlos Cardenosa, David Stenstrom and Remy Taveira. They also include professionals Zered Basset, Jason Jessee, Ben Raemers, Aaron Herrington,Louie Lopez, Kenny Anderson,Frank Gerwer, Sammy Baca, Eli Reed, Sean Pablo, Mike Anderson , Jake Johnson, Al Davis and Tom Remillard. The short documentary will be available February 4 on the brand's Youtube channel. Watch it!
