Mia Farr ... the big star ...

My opinion on Mia's performing skills may sound bias taking into account the fact that most people believe mothers tend to be "permeable" to their children's actions in a rather emotional way and do sometimes idolise them  by putting aside the necessary distance to be able to thoroughly "evaluate" them and their actions.

The truth is that I feel she was born to act ... and even before she walks on stage I know she is going to be the characters she has to "impersonate" ... without forcing her way into them, yet bringing a lot of herself into the personality of those characters, whoever they might be.

Mia's relationship with "Performing Arts" started at an early age, when it seemed more natural for her to express herself with gestures, facial expressions, body language, singing and even long silences, rather than the mere use of words.

From a certain moment on she started calling herself Mia Farr, the big star ... and in no time developed unimaginable skills, she later excelled in, while studying performing Arts at Chapitô, theatrical performance at the Conservatory of Theatre and Cinema, Creative dancing in Liège and ultimately a year as an Erasmus Theatre student in Bratislava.

The world of words, she was not accustomed to before, except in the heartfelt poems she used to write in her teens, gains a different dimension as she walks on stage.

I have watched her play numerous parts in dramas, comedy-dramas, tragedies, historical and even satirical plays both as a major and minor actor and though I personally prefer dramas, there hasn't been a play in which I didn't feel she hadn't acted brilliantly.

Her most challenging part must be the one she has to play in her day-to-day life though, once she is surrounded by people who "act" not according to the same performing techniques, on an ever "moving" stage depending on "roles" deprived of any sensitivity and above all in a "world" where Arts  might soon be relegated to "oblivion" when Government will reduce its financial support to the Arts.


I am proud of her and all that she has achieved, despite having chosen a "volatile" career ... as volatile as the money she is being paid to culturally entertain an ever growing group of Theatre non-goers.

May Theatre and Performing Arts continue to make a difference ... and may my "little" big star continue to shine on and outside the stage of life.
