Serenay Sarikaya in Alice the Musical (2023)

In my opinion, only after playing in Şahmaran and Fi Çi Pi i can consider myself as an experienced actress

In my opinion the first thing you learn in acting classes is: don&#39;t be ashamed of anyone, anything, under any circumstances! The feeling of shame gets replaced by control when you become concerned about your appearance. You start behaving in a controlled way to protect yourself. And that control excludes the possibility of creating something new, the magic of the moment, the invisible.
