We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Gal Yosepov. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Gal below.
Gal, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
A project that I’m currently working on right now! It’s my first self produced play that I’m producing along with two actor friends from drama school. The play is called “Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow” and it’s a modern and comedic adaptation of the classic “Three Sisters” by Anton Chekhov. I cast the actors, hire the director, crew, set designer etc… It’s a different experience when you’re not just an actor on set, more responsibility.
We’re opening 01/17/2024 at the Herbert Von King Cultural Arts Center in Brooklyn NY, and couldn’t be more excited and proud of everything we managed to pull off!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I went to a drama school, the Stella Adler Acting Studio in NYC, prior to that I had zero experience, zero training. I had just finished my three year service in the Air Force and knew all along that this is something I would like to try. Graduated June 2023 and ever since, I’ve been in 5 shows, plays and sketch comedy shows, with more to come! I like to choose projects (shows, roles to play…) that I’d normally wouldn’t go for. Projects that aren’t known to be “my type”. It open up my horizons to what I’m capable of as an actor. And of course, what I’m not capable of. It’s part of the risk taking I talked about in recent interview.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Keep challenging myself with projects I normally wouldn’t go for. The more I take on such projects, the more “hungry” I get for looking what else is out there that I’ve never done before.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
As an actor, it’s when an audience member truly enjoys what they came to see.
