Two main scenes then. Set to review the film of his life (really short, since he’s only 23 years old), Camila Figueiras Meriggi featured two of those moments that marked a turning point in history. The kind of situation that then nothing will be the same … even if he doesn’t know yet.

Camila is there, Nearly 10 years old, a girl from Olivos, watching the novice of the rebel. Julie Andrews is singing and dancing in María Rainer’s shoes and Camila hasn’t told anyone (so far) but she’s just decided something for her life: “I like that!”he said in his mind.

Short.

A few years later, we are 2018. Camila is about to take a Language test at Universidad Austral, where she is studying Communication. Camila suffers, hesitant (approval is complicated) And suddenly an email came …

It was sent from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), one of the most prestigious musical theater conservatories in New York. And what it says “Congratulations”greeted him and informed him of that “We were amazed at your audition” and that “You were awarded a scholarship to study at AMDA”Camila utters from memory as if that email changed her life. What’s the matter.

Moving away from vile metaphors (“the film of his life”, for example), things happen between the two scenes, of course. And all of that is what Camila is talking about now Clarioncomfortably installed in the small apartment (“for one person, but the three of us, ha!”) that he rents in Manhattan with two friends and roommates: Cata, Argentine, and Pedro, Mexican.

“We’re in the room together, Peter is sleeping in the living room”, summary of the life together, and immediately clarified: “We are like brothers, we get along. And because we are friends, ‘the people’s house’ is our house, we are always coming together here ”.

years of training

There are before and after scholarships in New York. His years of developing locally were forged at the Reina Reech School of Dance and at the Hermanas Escudero Dance School (read Vanina and Silvina), practicing various dance disciplines such as jazz, tap, salsa, dancehall, funk, hip hop and dance theateras well as singing and acting.

In addition to various formations with talented teachers like Pilar Muerza, Sofia Rangone, Luli Brindisi and Andie Say, among others.

Dancing and singing were his thing -he felt it-, but dad and mom “They insisted that I make a more stable career. So I started Communication and Advertising sa facu ”, said Camila.

Scholarship

But as he studied, he added experience in bringing together casts of many musical comedies in Buenos Aires. By the time he was informed about the scholarship and left for New York, he was already working on English productions as Sweet Charity, The Sound of Music, Cinderella, Legally Blonde, Footloose, In The Heights, Les Miserables Y We will beat you.

In 2018, his mother gave him a ticket to Big apple and decided to take an admission test in demanding AMDA.

“When I got that email I couldn’t believe it! True, my parents were always afraid of the instability caused by an artistic career, but I remember telling them: ‘I prefer to be crowded until the end of the month but doing what makes me happyand don’t be sad for eight hours in an office, ‘”he said.

“So in 2019 I came in with a one-way ticket and my life changed a lot. In fact, I’m still not coming back to Buenos Aires. You never know what I’m missing. But I feel it too. it’s time to get here: my biggest dream is to study on Broadway and I’m doing it ”.

He also uses that word (“dream”) to fantasize about one day getting to one of Broadway’s great musicals. To be exact, “hamilton either Moulin Rouge”, He stressed.

“At Ganun Lang”

And as he continues to train to jump into the big leagues in musical comedy, right now he needs to “manmantik” from within the series ’world elite. It was that at the end of last year he tried his luck to get involved And just like thatthe series of HBOsuffix of Sex and the Citymeaning share the recording with Sarah Jessica Parker and her friendsnothing is missing …

“That’s how it is,” he said. “I sent my resume to the casting agency and they called me for what is called‘ background actress ’here; In other words, you don’t have dialogue, but you join in the background, behind the actresses, “banking the scene”, they say here in jargon ”.

“Stepping on the floors of Steiner Studios seemed like a beautiful and adrenaline -filled madness,” he continued.

“Being on a project with such an international impact is wonderful. It’s an honor for me to share the set with talented artists like Sarah and Cynthia Nixon, and more of that in an HBO production. But most of all it’s a great study.Being there, you see how professional they are, how everyone knows their lines, whether they’re the star or not.
