Trendrod Interviews
Details
She is one of the headliners of the powerhouse lineup of local talents at the said venue.
In Trendrod’s exclusive conversation with theater actress Carla Guevara-Laforteza, she shared with us more about her work at the Quezon Club at Solaire Resort Quezon City.
We first asked her about the difference of performing on an intimate stage, such as at the Quezon Club, and theatrical shows that are held in bigger venues.
“When you are on the big stage, you don’t really see the audience until it’s curtain call. It’s more like memorized na memorized na namin ‘yung gagawin namin, we’ve rehearsed it,” she told us.
In contrast, “…on an intimate stage like this, also, we know our songs, a lot of stuff we do are improvized… especially depending on the crowd,” she said.
Trendrod also asked Carla she finds it easier to pull off performances on a smaller venue or larger stages.
“[It] doesn’t matter what platform I’m on, whether I’m doing a musical theater show or I’m singing here at the Quezon Club,” she replied. “It’s the same kind of energy and excitement that I feel with that aspect.”
We also did not miss the chance to ask how she became part of the strong lineup of local talents that also includes her show partner David Ezra, Radha, The Sirens, Aliya Parcs, and JMRTN.
Speaking of which, Trendrod also asked the seasoned theater actress about her working relationship with David, who is also an award-winning theater actor.
Carla Guevara-Laforteza performs with David Ezra at the Quezon Club at Solaire Resort Quezon City every Wednesday night at 8:00 pm.
