AF: “Triple Sensation” was a unique, once in a lifetime experience that I still cant believe I was fortunate enough to partake in! I had the opportunity to study with known and accomplished teachers, and meet and work with professionals I respect and admire. I learned so much from the experience that even now, five years after the fact, I am still discovering and learning from the experience, and I am so grateful for the opportunity.

AB: Can you share a piece of advice for other young actors and dancers?

AF: The most useful advice that I have been given is to remember that while this business is competitive, it is not a competition. Take care of your fellow artist and while it may be hard sometimes, encourage and support your peers. Keep a positive mindset and NEVER wish for the failure of another. Positivity breeds more positivity and people want to work with and hire positive people. Each artist has something unique and special that is exclusive to him or her. If you stay confident, continue to train and better yourself and remain optimistic; your turn will come!
