So,here goes my second blog of the year.
The play I did at The Hen and Chickens Theatre 'The Blind Bet' was a great joy to work on.
It was very well received and the cast and everybody involved under the helm of Jordan Murphy did a brilliant job!
My classes at The Anthony Meindl Actors Workshop are continuing and I'm getting a lot out of them,learning to get out of my own way in a scene and really just be in the moment,listening to my scene partner as well as taking onboard the notes and directions afterwards as a way of learning or in my case unlearning and to trust myself that I am enough! Thanks Anthony Meindl,Mitchell Mullen and Cynthia Levin for your guidance and inspiration as well as all my class mates.you guys are amazing!
My next project is going to take me in a whole new direction and I'm very excited.
I'm starting my own podcast: The Tino Orsini Show.
It'll be an irreverent chat show about the arts with special guests and film/theatre reviews so look out for it soon,it'll be broadcast on Podbean and hopefully on ITunes once we get it going.
So,thanks for following my blog and keep smiling!

Happy new year!
Back to work rehearsing the premiere of a darkly comic play 'The Blind Bet' by Robert Jenkins of Hillcrest Artists and directed by Jordan Murphy.
It runs for five performances at The Hen and Chickens Theatre from the 3rd-7th February.
Principal photography has began for 'Monalisa Lives'.
I will be working on it at the end of January under the helm of Anthony Abuah (Woolwich Boys)
I begin new acting classes at The Anthony Meindl Actors Workshop and am doing a casting director workshop with Rowland Buckley who casts for 'Eastenders'
Til next time!

I took part in "The Platform" a page to stage workshop at the inaugural night of The Bread and Roses Theatre.
The piece we did,'The Stand-In"was very well received.
I played a flamboyant American theatre director holding an audition with a young ingenue actress played by Natasha Santos.
We were both upstaged by our "co-star" Socko the puppet wonderfully worked by Emily Essery.
It was directed by Charlotte Peters with great aplomb!
I also shot a national commercial for one of the high street banks directed by Gary Freedman for Independent which will come out soon and had fun at The British Theatre Challenge at the LOST Theatre with 'The Proposition' ' by Brian Coyle.
It's been a very productive year and looking forward to getting my teeth into some more great and challenging roles in the new year,starting with the feature film "Monalisa Lives".
Thank you for reading this blog and I hope to keep you posted on all my upcoming creative projects!

Hi there!

I'm busy with a few projects.

I took part in Blackshaw Theatre's new writing night held at The Horse and Stables in Lambeth with a one-act play written by Richard Woulfe and directed by Robert Beck called 'No Going Back'.

It is a humorous take on connecting with former lovers via Facebook and I played Drew.

My wife was read by Andrea Deeley and the ex-lover by Tara Gadomski (Orange is the New Black)

We received some very positive feedback from the audience and Richard plans to write a further piece with the same characters which I would love to do.

Also,I am doing The Cambridge Theatre Challenge again,having done it last year with Sky Blue Theatre Company.

I am performing one of the 10 plays called 'The Proposition' directed by John Mitton.

We perform it on the 24th of October at the LOST Theatre with an additional night on the 25th for the other half of the plays.

The audience votes their favourite.

that's all for now.

Will keep you posted as usual with all my shows!

I am taking part in the annual Cambridge Shakespeare Festival for the summer with 'As You Like it' from 7-26th July and then 'The Taming of the Shrew' from 28th July-23rd August in the beautiful outdoors gardens of St John's College and Homerton College respectively.
Let's hope the weather will hold up!
I did a casting director's workshop with Jeremy Zimmerman who has been in the business for many years which was fun.
Also I have been offered a role in the independent feature film 'Monalisa Lives' written and directed by Anthony Abuah being filmed in London soon.
Thanks for reading!

Hi folks!
Well,I'm in rehearsals for Polish avant-grade playwright Witkacy's "The Madman and the Nun" which runs from 13-16th June at the Chelsea Theatre.
I also filmed a commercial which was a lot of fun to do.
I played an executive and had to wear a hair-piece in some strange positions!
Look out for it soon!
Til next time!
