I am so angry right now, and I try to put those feelings into words but i can& #39;t. Even though a lot of the times I felt like an outsider at UCB, it did shape me and my experience in NY. So instead of a rant, I& #39;m going to do a thread thanking people that made me better.
Thank you Patrick Clair and @donfanelli for making my first class at UCB be the best experience ever.
Thank you @AaronBurdette for making me feel confident writing sketch for the first time
Thank you @damianchadwick for pushing me in 201 to be better at finding the game and making my sketches stronger. My writing was so much better after that.
Thank you to @toyns for the great notes, and for getting my sketch about a non-profit volunteer guilt-tripping people for money on the street be ready for the stage
Thank you @patricknoth. I got to take two classes with you and each time you made me see my potential as a performer when I got more in tune with myself
Thank you @mcthomas for the best 301 class ever. I still think about how fun that class was and I made a lot of really good friends there, in part because of the incredible environment you fostered. You are an incredible teacher.
Thank you @astamate for unleashing "bad Tulio" – your class was challenging and it got me out of my comfort zone. Your support made me better.
Thank you @ChrissySh. I saw you perform at CW and it made me want to do it and take a class with you. You are so talented and I feel lucky to have taken a class with you and get your insights on making better characters.
I wouldn& #39;t be half as good as I am today if it wasn& #39;t for @EricGersen. Your classes made me feel good about myself, my talent, and my musical skills. You are amazing and I& #39;m so glad we got to work together.
If I hadn& #39;t taken a class with @JohnnaScrabis, I don& #39;t think I would have had the guts to make all the weird choices I have on stage. You are the best and it was so fun to be around you.
Sorry I realize now this is long but whatever.
To @beardzoid, thank you for one of the wackiest, craziest, most fun classes I& #39;ve taken with The Holiday Fest. And of course, thank you for your friendship.
The Slow Fuse Monoscene with Morgan Phillips was one of the most challenging but fun classes I& #39;ve had at UCB and it was also the last class I took.
Thank you to @angrylou for creating the space for Slay and putting together all those queers in the same room to tap into our true selves. You are one of the kindest people in the community and I admire you so much.
Thank you to @spotastic for hiring me to be your DCM assistant. I hope I helped and made DCM less hectic for you, and I am so thankful for all the time and energy you put into this community, for all the laughs, and for your dog pooping insta stories.
Thank you @timothydunn for Queerball, it was the first time I performed a character on the UCB stage, and you were so generous with your time and made us all feel special.
Thank you @MichaelHartney. The first time I saw you perform the Cult Leader sketch, it blew me away. It made me jealous because I knew I was never going to be as good. Thank you for your kindness, for all the laughs at the office, and for helping us through this difficult time
Thank you @devin_ – you coached me once in an insane show Improvised Rocky Horror Picture Show and the show was awful, but you helped me feel comfortable performing (and bombing!( in heels and makeup!
Thank you @lesliemeisel for your incredible work with me in our Character class. It really made me realize how much I need to be comfortable in my own skin to tap into my characters. You are such a wonderful teacher.
Thanks to all the people in the office who made it such a fun place to work @parisadkins @jessaugustyn Mike, Bridget (famously not on twitter), @kevhines, the folks at the theater, Jenna, Al, Kurt, Dimo, Shannon, Juan, Patrick, @NEProbst, @Orlandoolier Delaney
im probably missing a lot of people but I don& #39;t have everyone& #39;s handle but know I& #39;m thinking of you!. Thank you to all the interns who made this place run and do things way beyond what they were supposed to do.
Thank you @NanMel for being the powerhouse you are. This place would have fallen way way way sooner without you. But we both know that. You are an incredible friend and I& #39;m so glad we got to meet.
Thank you to @heyKQ @notmerylstreep @doo_kee @stevenpolletta for putting together Here and Queer and letting us be our queer selves on stage.
Thank you @JoyahLove for coaching Dangertown. You were so fun and kind and amazing and we stan <3
Thank you @Andy_Bustillos for preparing me for a kick ass Lloyd Audition
Thank you @EricFeurer for those incredible notes and making my characters so much better. You are incredible.
Thank you @matthewsstarr for coaching my indie team, you got us out of our funk and made us enjoy coming up with new forms and being silly and creative.
Thanks to my latinx crew for Fifty/Cincuenta, Azucar, and GatoCulo @Joannahausmann @jnicolon @itzaritz @YoGlo_ @LowbudgetMC @SuniReyes Aileen, Mariola, @Andy_Bustillos @lilipujoljr @Orlandoolier Xave Billy, @Ericuddy @thepedroalcocer @felipetmedinaa Silvia, @naniemendez @angrylou
