Alice Dixon ’ s charity event
Actress Alice Dixson , 48 , is hoping to have a baby .
Dixson , whose marriage withFil-Canadian Ronnie Miranda is now annulled , is seeing a foreigner , an executive of a plush hotel in Makati . She said she is not in a rush to get hitched .
“ In God ’ s time , I will ,” she said with a smile . “ Luckily for me , my boyfriend is single .”
She lived with ex-husband Ronnie in Canada until she came home four years ago to sign up with TV5 . She was kept busy with assignments by the network , but when her contract expired , she became a freelancer . She is currently doing a film with Star Cinema , titled “ The Ghost Bride ,” starring Kim Chiu and Matteo
Guidicelli and directed by Chito Roño .
Proceeds of the event were donated to the Kalipay Orphanage in Bacolod City .
Kalipay means bliss or glee in Visayan , said the actress .
“ My close encounter , so to speak , with the Kalipay Orphanage was in December last year , when I taped for an episode of ‘ Happy Life ’ there .
“ Since it was Christmas nga , the other members of the cast and I , plus the producer and production staff , held a party at the orphanage .
“ There , we were fortunate to spend time and talk with the children and we got to hear their stories … how and why sila napunta sa orphanage .
“ Sa totoo lang ,” she further related , “ I was deeply moved by their kuwento , to the point where I really hugged some of them .
Since that visit , Alice has supported three brothers of ages 5 , 9 and 13 at the orphanage . Until all three of them are adopted by a good family , Alice is committed to helping them .
Her most recent charity event is part of her promise to help people become more familiar with the orphanage . ● - E . Ramos , Malaya
New York acting teacher Anthony Vincent Bova trains GMA Artist Ctr stars
Anthony Vincent Bova arrived in the Philippines last August 13 to emanate a different learning experience with GMA Artist Center stars and introduce the most reliable acting technique developed by actor-author Eric Morris .
Based in New York , Anthony Vincent Bova is personally endorsed by Eric Morris to teach the Artist Center stars his method , The Eric Morris System , which is considered to be more personal and intimidating to the actors as it requires facing inner fears and weaknesses .
“ What attracted me to the Eric Morris System is that this work answered so many questions that other techniques didn ’ t know to ask . One of the biggest traps actors in general fall into in this age of naturalism as an artist is they act natural . It ’ s still acting . They act natural as opposed to being natural ,” Bova explains .
He will delve more about the method of “ being ” via a 3-day intense acting workshop . Through the workshop , the actors will bear truth to the acting coach ’ s sincerity and professionalism , which help them trust the process .
His mentor , Eric , has a special regard for the Philippines as he had worked with some of the most critically acclaimed and internationally awarded actors such as Laurice Guillen , Johnny Delgado , Michael de Mesa , and Leo Martinez among many others . Morris has been giving his blessing to his protégé , Bova , to teach his system of work for over 20 years now .
Aiming to help the future generation of actors develop the skills of an effective performer , GMA Artist Center together with Laurice Guillen Actors Studio and Anthony Vincent Bova will work together to establish a higher standard for the actors ’ performance in the Philippines . ●
