8th Grade Theatre Lab Students Enjoy Final Guest of Semester

Tandem Friends 8th grade Theatre Lab students enjoyed hearing from one final performing artist this semester, TV/film/theatre actor DaJuan Johnson, who joined them online for a class. The students watched some of his work ahead of time and prepared questions to learn more about his experience as an actor. Students wanted to know about DaJuan's training, experiences on shows and sets, coaching other actors, the differences between TV and stage work, his writing and directing projects and more. He answered their questions with honesty, passion and humor. His best advice to actors was to 'master the art of letting go.'

DaJuan Johnson is an actor and director known for his work on Bosch, Grey's Anatomy (for which he received an Emmy nomination - https://vimeo.com/332383475 ) and Marvel's Agent Carter. He guest starred on Netflix's Narcos as well as many other shows, including Brooklyn 99, Bones, Prime Suspect and CSI, among others. He has acted in theatre and film as well as TV and has been a director, writer and a life coach for actors. Fun fact and Tandem connection - DaJuan has been good friends since college with the mother of 8th grader Naia.
