Three beloved teachers, mentors, and friends. Three amazing souls that shaped and molded my artistic sensibilities and taught me the craft of story telling the process, the work, the respect, dignity and the hustle of surviving, and living and smiling as an artist. They respectively from bottom right corner to the left panel Professor Alma Becker, Produce and Director John R. Wilson and El Maestro Nelson Landreiu. They have now left this plane and their spirits and energy are no longer confined to any one place and their legacy lives in me. I am now the line. It is now my turn to teach and to continue to work but to teach because what they taught me is too amazing to keep to myself. Today I open a show and at the same time my heart is joyful I also miss them greatly. However, in the craft of the entertainer no creed rings louder than this one: #THESHOWMUSTGOON! I don't care if you are park performer, an athlete, or a concert performer. Tickets were sold and people spent their hard earned money, to come and see your work, not to see your tears, so you get it together you go out there and you put on a good show as if the most discerning eyes are watching. #YOUHONORYOURCRAFT #YOUHONORYOURTEACHERS so tonight when #BRAVELORD written and performed by @ericdominique81 in @teatrolatea my nod as a director goes to my teachers. #THANKYOUTHANKYOTHANKYOU Jose Alberto Esquea DIRECTOR A DAD, A MARTIAL ARTIST, AND STORY TELLER.
