Do you see any trends developing within the theatre movement in Vancouver? Skydive has not been an exception, but I’d rather keep my ego somewhat intact by not divulging the simple lessons Skydive has taught me about acting that I should have figured out years ago.Ħ.

It seems that every show I do I realize there is a new lesson I need to learn.

What do you know about the craft of acting that you didn’t before starting work on Skydive? Then a cold beer at the end of the day.ĥ. A daily laugh or two, and a lot of trust. Describe the ideal relationship with your director. Whether I’m watching or acting in a show.Ĥ.
#BOB FRAZER PROFESSIONAL#
And now after 15 years of professional work I still think a theatre is one of the greatest places to be at any time of the day. I am in love with theatre and have been excited by it all my life. It really doesn’t differ from what I dreamed it would be. How does the reality of theatre work compare to what you imagined it would be when you started in it? But I should take my own advice and instead of bitching about it, I should do something about it.ģ. Other cities do interviews with theatre artists instead of filling up columns with the latest news about a street shut down for a stunt on a big budget movie. We lose great designers and actors and technicians daily to the film industry and a lot of our media is about what is filming in town and what celebrity was seen on Robson.
#BOB FRAZER TV#
We strive to do good theatre but we are always thinking about that film and that TV show. They put every effort into making sure the shows are great. Other cities that don’t have as thriving a film and TV industry as we do concentrate all their efforts on theatre. It’s funny, but I think theatre may be messed up by the film industry. We may then break up some of the infatuation we have on the film and tv industry in Vancouver. Vancouver theatre is truly some of the best in the world and just think how great it would be if we all took that next step to be better. I think we need to be bolder, better and prouder. Describe the present condition of the Vancouver theatre scene in as many words as you need.įor some reason we can’t seem to get enough audience out to see the work. In one word, describe your present condition.Ģ. We’re grateful this week’s 11 questions didn’t go too heavily with his disposition…ġ. And together with theatre school buddy James Sanders he is once again causing a buzz with the high-flying Skydive. In fact, his version of Hamlet during Bard’s 2005 season was a smash critical and commercial success, I still hear it referenced in reverent tones during theatre coffee shop talk. He has written three plays, graduated from Studio 58, and created life twice. He is a regular contributor at Bard on the Beach and has helped develop over 50 new plays.

I love his simple bio from the program for his current production of Skydive, onstage now at the Arts Club Granville Island Stage as part of the PuSh Festival: It’s official now because it’s on the internet.) Born in Ontario but raised in the Okanagan, Bob has become a bit of a Golden Boy of our stages here.
