Sassy Jewish Woman come in ON TOP!!!

2010-10-27T18:53:00.000-07:00

Hello to my many readers who follow Sivan in the City!

I know I haven't updated this blog in a while but GREAT NEWS! My one woman show got accepted into the United Solo festival and will be featured OFF-BROADWAY!!! YAY!! Take a look and hope to see you there!

The performance is based on my experiences as a modern day gypsy, traveling through America, Israel, Egypt, Turkey, India, China and Thailand in search of a home. The audience is taken on a journey back to the time when Hadari's family were Jewish immigrants fleeing Tunisia, to a little girl praying at a Yeshiva in Brooklyn, to a caravan in a settlement over-looking Jericho, to a nude beach at the Dead Sea to jewel encrusted elephant rides in India, all in the name of liberation.

Stage Manager Samantha Shechtman

ISRAMERICA at City Winery!

2010-01-02T22:12:00.001-08:00

AFTER A STANDING ROOM, SOLD OUT SHOW IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER
Hosted at City Winery, January 31st, 2010 at 8pm

Integrating the works of a group of fiercely talented young artists, brings you an all star line-up of Israeli and Jewish-American performers, many of which have been featured on Broadway and off, various TV shows on Comedy Central, MTV and HBO as well as premiere music and comedy venues all over New York.

On January 31st at 8pm, NYC will get to sample a wide and entertaining variety of the current crop of Israeli talent. ISRAMERICA, a one night only special live event, presented by Playline Productions, will feature over fifteen artists, including musicians, stand-up comedians, actors and dancers at their best.

Gay Love and Crossing some Borders

2009-12-27T18:16:00.000-08:00

January 6th? I'm gonna be hanging out at The Bleeker Theatre enjoying Love and Licenses.

Come with. Why not?

Discussing gay marriage and cross-border affairs, Love and Licenses is poised to shock with its honest and unapologetic portrayal of love under restrictions. In this Off Broadway production, Israel is on trial. Tempering the visceral, raw emotion with complex subtleties and nuance, however, Love and Licenses premieres two plays that offer no easy critique. Neither the critic nor the supporter of Israel will find succor for long as the plays offer insightful and thought-provoking reviews of a complex situation. And, that is what theater should do - evoke dialogue and create joyous discomfort.

Te Busco tells the story of a young man destined to be the next matriarch of his family. At A Loss begins with a missing corpse and ends with a beautiful love story for those who believe in fate, albeit two generations delayed. Both are being shown for the first time on stage in their completeness. The freshness of the plays is ably handled by a talented and veteran cast and two senior directors with an eye for detail.

Hosted by Artists 4 Israel, this is a bold move for a young organization to seek such a respected Off Broadway theater to host its inaugural production. However, A4I has already attempted to understand and share the complexities of Israel through graffiti, street art and fashion and proven successful.
"Beautifully Effective, Shockingly Creative"

It's gonna be fun and shocking, apparently.

ISRAMERICA IS COMING TO TOWN!

2009-10-03T12:40:00.000-07:00

Come out on Oct. 21st and see some kick ass talented Isramericans do their thing!

ISRAMERICA is a showcase of emerging Israeli and American Jewish talent. The show incorporates a world of diverse artists: actors, dancers, singers, stand up comedians,filmmakers and visual artists, all drawing inspiration from their Jewish and/or Israeli background.

ISRAMERICA will be performed at the The Sage Theatre in the heart of Times Square on October 21st 8pm.

I've had the privilege of working with these gifted, professional, young artists and I must say it has being such an incredible experience. They are, without a doubt, a group of fiercely talented individuals, each one in their own genre or medium. Each have their own projects they are already working on or developing. It's such a pleasure to see them work together to create this amazing night of creative expression.

ISRAMERICA: "Because there's more to Israel than hummus, falafel and M-16's."

See you there,

HOW I GOT THE PART IN THE SHOW MY PAL BETTE. ENJOY.

Sivan Hadari
Roles: Cher and Carol Klein in 'My Pal Bette,' an Off-Off-Broadway play
By Michael Catania
September 10, 2009

"I knew it would be a challenge playing two characters in one play," says Sivan Hadari, "but I thought I could pull it off."

It was a hot day in May when the nonunion actor auditioned for "My Pal Bette." The casting notice, which she saw in the April 23 edition of Back Stage, asked for one actor to portray both music diva Cher and stereotypical Jewish mother Carol Klein. Hadari first auditioned as Cher, then was asked to come back an hour later, this time as the kvetching, middle-aged Carol. "So I went to a diner around the block to grab a bite," she recalls.

After eating, however, Hadari began to doubt whether she could do it. "I had just done well as Cher, but I had to go back as Carol. How was I supposed to do that?" She had everything she needed for a convincing Cher—long black hair, singing ability, and a spunky disposition—but Hadari is rather too young and lighthearted to play the suffocating mother of a 10-year-old. After mulling over her predicament for a few minutes, she gathered herself and made a choice.

"I decided to go all out and put everything I had into it, despite the risk," she says. "I went into the bathroom and pulled out my fully loaded makeup case. I put my hair up in a bun, applied layers of purple and blue eye shadow, blush, and lipstick everywhere. Oh my God, I looked hideous, but I was Carol." When she exited the bathroom, the diner patrons couldn't believe their eyes: The pretty girl in a sundress was now an over-the-top Jewish mother.

Hadari walked briskly around the block, and as she opened the door to the room where director Kenny Howard sat waiting, she decided to take another risk. "In my best Long Island Jewish-mother accent," she says, "I blurted out, 'Oh my Gawd, I'm shvitzing like a potato knish on a hot plate, it's so warm out there!' " Her gamble paid off as everyone burst into laughter.

Howard remembers the moment well: "She was funny when she came back. She knocked it out of the park. We cast her on the spot." Going into the audition, he was worried that he'd be forced to settle for one character being portrayed better than the other. "But Sivan was great as both," he says. "She has lots of energy and always wears a smile. It's infectious."

Hadari believes that her success in landing the parts validates two very important aspects of her lifestyle: a tendency to take risks and a love of humor. "For me, it's about having fun, laughing, and enjoying what I do," she says. "If you can't do that, then what's the point?"

Ladies and Gentlemen- Gvirotai ve Rabotai...

2009-08-29T22:52:00.000-07:00

"Welcome and Bruchim Ha Baim to flight 613 taking off from JFK to Tel Aviv."

So after five sold out shows, loads of Middle Eastern cuisine at the nearby Olive Tree Cafe and endless cups of chamomile tea, I can finally say I have some Nachat.
It's nice to be part of a well received production. We all worked very hard. Lots of laughs, lots of re-writes, lots of last minute changes, lots of bench moving, lots of props lost and then found. Michelle, the stage manager for Sex and the Holy Land said to me in regards to all of the above: "Hey, it's the Fringe" and that put everything in perspective for me. It's not easy working on an original play but knowing that this is a baby taking it's first steps, and we are the ones helping it along is heartwarming. I thought to myself, opening night, "We are going on a ride, it might be a bumpy ride but in the end, we'll get to where we're headed and then we'll all get off"... and you can take that any way you'd like. It's Sex in the Holy Land, after all.

For me there were many memorable moments throughout this production but the highlight of this entire experience happened after our last show on Friday. I came out of the back door of The Players Theatre and there stood my close friends, Mike, Maggie and Jonathan, when and all of a sudden a face came out of the crowd like a forgotten angel. It was Adi Shapira's face; one of my long lost friends from performing arts high school in Israel. I said to her " What are you doing here???" She answered simply: " You sent me a facebook invite, didn't you?". Turns out she and her parents came for a short visit to New York and came to see the show. That moment made everything in my entire acting career worth it. It was the greatest and most touching surprise yet.

So I'd like to thank Adi Shapira for making me smile as well as the wonderful, talented people who made this show happen: Ross Buckley, Michelle Slonim, Ruby Joy, Zack Imbrogno, Adrian Kelly, Lyssa Mandel, Sarah-Doe Osborne, Susan Slatin, Gabriel Sloyer, Melanie Zoey Weinstein (who also wrote and produced) and Goldie Zwiebel.
Noah Aronson, Arthur Peters, Kate Rusek, Michelle Beige, Rachel G. Karp, Robby Sandler and our director Lee Gundersheimer, whom I like to call him Gundershnitzel.

Showing Off Their Fringe By NATHAN BURSTEIN

More than a decade into its history, the New York Fringe Festival boasts a name that is by now an anachronism. Filling more than 75,000 seats at some 200 performances, the Fringe Festival, kicking off Friday, has become a central part of the Big Apple's summer theater season, and this year offers a varied selection of Jewish- and Israel-themed productions.

STARS AND STRIPES. 'Sex and the Holy Land' follows a trio of young Jewish Americans as they travel through Israel.Photo: Courtesy of Joshua Z Weinstein
For playwrights and also actors, the festival's name is a misnomer: involvement in a Fringe production has become a significant achievement.
That was certainly the feeling for one of the festival's younger playwrights, Melanie Zoey Weinstein, who will present her debut comedy, Sex and the Holy Land, five times at the Players Theatre, beginning August 15.

"I was screaming my head off," the 23-year-old says of the moment she learned her show had been accepted. "My doorman almost called 911."
Described by Weinstein as a coming-of-age story "largely inspired" by her own visits to Israel, Sex and the Holy Land is, as its name suggests, one of the more irreverent of the Jewish-themed plays on the schedule. Following a trio of young Jewish Americans as they travel through Israel, the show sets its tone during an early scene on a flight to Tel Aviv, when a pair of Arab and Jewish characters get into an argument in the line for the bathroom. ("I was here first," the Jewish character informs her fellow Semite.)

A sex romp that explores issues of identity, recent Jewish history and cultural differences between Israelis and Americans, the production received its initial reading last year at the University of Miami, where Weinstein submitted the script as her senior thesis in theater arts and creative writing. But the play's roots stretch back much further, Weinstein says, noting that many of its characters were drawn from study programs she completed in Israel in high school and college, and even from trips dating back earlier. "I feel like I've been writing this my whole life," she says.

Come see the show!!! Opening this Saturday!

nytheatre.com review
Martin Denton · June 20, 2009

My Pal Bette, a new play by John Ryan that has arrived in New York City just in time for Gay Pride, has an unbeatable concept. Tommy Klein, an awkward, unpopular, pre-teen living with his possessive mother, acquires a guardian "diva" to help him grow up—and that diva is none other than Bette Davis. Bette instructs Tommy in the finer points of assertiveness and holding one's own—who would know better than she how to face down a schoolyard bully with only a cigarette for a weapon? And, as Tommy matures, she helps him understand and come to terms with the realization that he's gay, even playing Cupid to help him overcome shyness with a boy he wants to get to know better.

It is a fabulous conceit, with plenty of possibilities. (It feels like it could be the basis for a sitcom, doesn't it?) Ryan wisely does not overplay his hand here, though, keeping My Pal Bette to the very manageable length of one hour. The show is at its best in the interplay between Davis and the teenage Tommy, played convincingly and likably by the playwright himself. The earlier scenes are a bit spottier: Ryan does a fine job establishing Bette in movie star heaven, recruited by a hunky angel (played by the buff, game Reece Scelfo) to earn her "diva wings" by helping Tommy find self-actualization; but the vignettes that introduce young Tommy to us make him out to be more of a weird little nerd than a budding gay boy, which in this context feels jarring. (I liked, though, that these opening vignettes are intermixed with footage of La Davis in All About Eve and other classic roles/poses.)

The bitchy, witty, allusion-laded repartee is generally pretty clever; some of the funniest material in My Pal Bette come in sight gags. I don't want to give too much away, but know that this play makes plenty of disparaging references to Joan Crawford and includes set pieces devoted to fellow diva Ethel Merman and another who I won't name (but she is portrayed dead-on by Sivan Hadari, who also plays Tommy's loving but dysfunctional mother). Michael Ell is the very appealing young actor who plays young Tommy, and the cast also includes, in multiple roles, PJ Brennan, James Brent Isaacs, and Cindy Pearlman. In the star part of Miss Davis is Tammy Kopko, who sounds and moves enough like the real thing to convince us that she is indeed this particular guardian diva.

Kenny Howard's direction serves the play neatly, on a modest set designed by Keith Rogers and Kris Smith that bespeaks the show's fringe theater origins. The video work by Adam Rohrmann and Gerard Kouwhenhoven is expert. And the pre-show music, a mix of '40s pop and a campy song about the famous movie that Bette Davis and Joan Crawford made together (I can't find out who recorded it; it's very funny), sets the tone for the show perfectly.

SEE YOU THERE!!!

The Play was written by John Ryan and stars Tammy Kopko as Bette Davis, the razor-mouthed, high-ball drinking, chain-smoking screen siren. Tommy is an obsessive-compulsive nerd with an unhealthy attachment to his kvelling, Yente-from-hell mother until God and his army of well-chiseled angels grants him a “guardian diva” – Miss Davis in all her glory.

The cast includes playwright John Ryan as Tommy, Tammy Kopko as Bette Davis, Michael Ell as 9 year old Tommy, Reece Scelfo as Angel/God, Sivan Hadari as Carol Klein/Cher, James Brent Isaacs as God/Devils, PJ Brennan as Thomas Klein, Sr./Derek, and Cindy Pearlman as Susie/Ms. Darwin. Kenny Howard will direct.

So here's my audition story:

I saw the ad in Backstage in the April 23rd audition; "Seeking Carol Klien/Cher- 20ish to 30ish stereotypical Jewish mother. A mess with mood swings, loud over- bearing and insecurities. Must also be able to impersonate Pop singer Cher." Sounds like me I thought jokingly...

Seemed fun and interesting so I submitted and they called me in for an audition. I quickly polished up my comedic monologue, my Jewish mother and my Cher, grabbed my headshot and resume and was out the door.

When I came in for my audition at the Producers Club, I met Kenny Howard and Tammy Kopko from B Productions.
I performed my monologue and they had me sing some Cher. I sang "It's in his Kiss" or what they used to call " The shoop-shoop Song". They asked me to come in for a call back.

Kenny handed me the sides and as I read the description on my way to the 42nd street dinner, I noticed the description of Carol Klien; "Big hair, make-up, custom made jewelry, loud".

I looked nothing like Carol Klien. I looked like a young sweet girl in a sun dress. And so, I went into the dinner and after eating my scrambled egg sandwich, I went into the bathroom, put my hair up in a bun and created a big hair "water- fountain" if you will. I had my make-up case with me and proceeded to apply layers and layers of purple eye shadow as well as bright green colors, loads of blush and very poorly, applied cheap red lipstick. I put a huge feathery hairpiece in my "water fountain" and put on some big tacky earrings I had in my purse and off I went.

It was the first really hot day in NYC in a while and everyone was sweaty and aggravated. I came in for my callback and the moment I came in I said- in character- "It's so hot outside! I'm shvitzing like a potato knish on a hot- plate!"
It just came out of me (being an Israeli Jew- all our mothers are the same: obsessive and paranoid- AND LOUD!!!)

They laughed. I mean I did look hideous! And sweaty. But sure enough they called me up that night and told me I got the part! I was so happy and excited. This is a part I was born to do- a Loud annoying Jewish mother and I get to go FULL OUT CHER!!!
I drew my inspiration from characters like The Nanny (Fran Drescher) and her mother on the show and George Costanza's mother on Seinfeld and my own mother of- course... who amazingly is now visiting with me from Israel so I get to do all the research HAND ON!!! (You figure it out...)

So that's it. We are now in rehearsals and things are moving by pretty nicely. The cast is just solid. A lot of talented people are involved.

COME SEE THE SHOW!!!!

After a VERY long weekend... Three runs of The Vagina Monologues and one last run for Manhattan Lavender at the N Play festival AND one Music Video, I am happy to say that I am pleasantly exhausted.

I am extra happy to report that our V-Day Benefit Production of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, here in New York City, managed to raise close to $10,000 for our charities and for the women of the Congo!

What an accomplishment. What a difference this will make in so many women's lives.

This whole production was quiet an experience. I got to meet and work with a group of talented, giving and loving women. Everyone worked so hard and gave it there all in rehearsals and in the shows themselves.

There was a great energy throughout the entire process and the audience was so warm and grateful for our hard work.

A few of my friends who had seen The Vagina Monologues several times before, had said that our production was so the most creative and that it was the best one they've ever seen. (Hey, I can brag, no???)

We laughed, we cried, we danced, we wore lingerie, we moaned, we sang, we liberated the Vagina.

And it was wonderful.

Thank you to all the beautiful and talented people that made this all possible.

Our Director: Dr. Shondrika Moss
Our stage Manager: Debra Stunich
Emiliano Styles, Duana Stintston, Monica Moreau,the wonderful staff at New World Stages, the volunteers and of course Annamarie C. Klose our costume designer.

Our Cast:

Anabelle Munro, Chantal Nchako, Chinyere "Chi Chi" Anyanwu, Emily Gallagher, Ghana Leigh, Jamie Rosler, Kimberley Dalton Mitchell, Kit Williams, Nicky Sunshine, Nicole Perperas, Poonam Basu, Rhina Valentin, Samantha Alicea, Shani Nwando Ikerioha Collins and myself.

The Musicians: Boo Lynn Walsh, Judith Rahilly, Amy Iwasaki and Rhiannon Murphy.

We did it Girls! We did it for us and we did it for them. May they never know anymore sorrow.

Amen.

Sivan in the Vaginal City.

Vagina, Vagina, Vagina!

So rehearsals are coming along very nicely. Our Director, Dr. Shondrika Moss is whipping our little butts. We had a good run yesterday, only had to work on a few minor things.

I'm actually excited about the dance that one of the cast members, Shanni Collins, choreographed.

I love to dance but I'm no Ballerina... I'm a club hopping, free- styling chick but turns out, we are all performing and dancing and it just looks just great. It is a very strong piece. I can't wait for you to see it!

All in all this is turning out to be an amazing experience. Such an extraordinary cast of diverse women, all so different yet all so similar. We all want the same thing.

We all want to be a part of something greater than ourselves; to be heard, to make a difference, to leave a mark- to STOP THE VIOLENCE.

You can help.

So today I got a crazy comment from one of my friends about a picture of myself I had posted on Facebook. The picture is from a new film I am working on called "Quiet on the Set", directed by Chris Von Hoffmann. In the Movie, which is a Mockumentary, I play a 49 year old, Russian, Personal Assistant who is, to say the least, unattractive.

I find, that as an Actor, I just love doing the work. I really don't mind if I look silly or weird or just plain ugly. It's what I do, and when I do it, I transform myself in any way possible, into the Character I want to become, totally and completely.

And if that means you get some hideous pictures of me on Facebook, than the least you can do is enjoy them now on my blog as well!

Have fun and Enjoy your week!

Eva Fucking Longoria

2006-12-01T04:46:00.000-08:00

And today in the chronicles of of Sivi in the City...

So after school today I decided on having some pizza. I walk into the pizza place right next door to the American Academy and ordered a slice with mushrooms. The guy at the counter looks at me and smiles. He turns to me and says "You look like that woman on that show". I ask, "What show is that?". "You know, the one with the Desperate...you know..."."Housewives" I reply, jumping in to complete his ever so wonderful complement. "Do you mean Eva Longoria?", I ask. "Yes, that's the one"."Thank You" I say, a bit embarrassed... Do i really look like her I thought to myself. No one has evr said that to me before. I turn around to find myself a spot and that's when this gorgeous looking man looks up at me and says, "He stole my line. I was going to say that you look like Eva Longoria". May I sit with you? I ask without waiting for his reply. I sit down and eat my slice. "You are gorgeous" he says. "Thank you. So do you have a name?" I ask. "Yes I do it's Anoire". "Wow that's hot I like that. I'm Sivan", I say. "Well that's hot too" he replies, mocking me for saying the word "hot". We eat our pizza and tell our stories. Mine is being an actress and his is. belive it or not, working for the secret service; A bodyguard. He says he protects the President. I roll my eyes. He asks me if I just rolled my eyes at him. I confirm the rolling of the eyes. "It's really what I do", he says. "That might very well be true- but this is New York City-Hun, you can't expect me to believe everything thing you say after knowing you for only 17 minutes". "Well it is the truth. I'll prove it to you.", he says. "It's ok, I believe you I say." Hye, you want to get out of here?” He asks ."Let's get a drink. There's a nice place down the street." “I can't” I say. I thought of telling him the truth but “I have a lots of homework to do” didn't sound very truthful right then, even though it was the truth, so I just replied- “I'm not sure”. “So come with me..." He says "Just for a little while- you can meet my friends from work and they'll tell you what we do" "O.k. Fine." I give in. "But just for a little while". I get my bag and we walk outside. We get to the side walk when suddenly an odd looking, black man, wearing tight black Lycra pants and a long neon blue shirt- turns to me and yells- "It's Eva Fucking Longoria, It's her. I swear". I was shocked. Do I really look like her that much? I never thought so...
And now- I give you some pics of Eva and of me and you be the judge...
Yes or no... I don't think so...truth is... I'm hotter. Ha!

Hye guys

Yes it seems like it takes me forever to update my blog but here it is!!! I have finally started school. And the lucky school is...drum roll please.... The American Academy of Dramatic Arts!!!! (loud applause)(children screaming).
I decided to fill in this update with pictures I had taken with friends of mine from the business. I am sure you have all heard of them; John Travolta, Nicholas Cage, Oprah, Robin Williams (again), Lenny Kravitz and many others. I hope you enjoy.

Yesterday was my first day and even though it was really exciting to finally be studying what I love most- Theatre- it still wasn't easy. I thoght we were going to start out with some acting lessons or singing lessons which I am really good at but that wasn't the case. The first lesson was "Movement" and that is positively not my area of expertise. I mean, don't get me wrong. I can shake it with the best of them, like when I'm out dancing at a hot night club or something, but classical dance is really not my cup of tea. You can only imagine how difficult it was for me to throw myself into first, second, and fifth positions of ballet while mixing it up with a little Jazz and just for the hell of it throwing in about 40 sit ups with my legs hanging in the air. I'm not Gumby for G-ds sake!!! My muscles still hurt all over. This morning I coughed a little and felt like a truck had run me over. To sum it up, there was a whole lot of movement in "Movement" class.

Two hours later, we went into Voice and speech. It was an interesting lesson about correct English and what they call "General American" and I was very into it the whole lesson until it was my turn to say my name. After all the Jessicas, Jenniffers and Kathys- "Sivan" was pretty tough for the even the teacher to pronounce. I tried to joke about it and say that people usually mispronounce my name, calling me “Sivaughn” and “Shuvan” but no one laughed. Why didn't my parents just name me Ann or something?

After we were done with class I walked down stairs and saw this girl with amazingly longs slender legs so I just came up to her and said "you have awesome legs". I'm like that. I believe women should complement each other on what they percieve to be beautiful and then they wouldn't waist their time on feeling jealous or intimidated. She was very nice and we spoke for a while. She told me that she is 18, straight out of High school and from Iowa. When I told her that I was born in Brooklyn and lived in Israel for ten years she was amazed and said:"Israel- wow that sounds cool". Then she asked me how old I was and when I said 25 she looked at me, completely shocked and said "Wow... you are soooooo old".

I think I said something like "Age is just a number" or something like that but I actually was thinking..."Oh my g-d... I don't beilieve she just said that!!! 25 isn't old at all!!!"

Ooouuucccchhhhhh. That hurt. But just a little. Don't worry. I'll get over it...

I'll fill you guys in and let you know what other crazy things happen at "The Academy", as we like to call it. "Fame..Im gonna live forever. Baby remeber my name..."

Cross your fingers and break a leg,
Sivan in the Dreamy City

2006-03-12T20:58:00.000-08:00

HELLO MY BABYS!!!

I know I haven’t written in a while but the truth is that I have been very very very busy. I have been to many auditions lately and it’s really starting to pay off.
I got three different parts in three low budget films. The film I did this week is called “Till we meet Again”, Directed by Burt Lorber and it’s about a television producer that starts to see the dead and I play his production assistant.
So here are a few pictures from the set. I hope you likey. My brother Matan just came to visit me from Israel and I took him with to the set. He had a great time and they actually made him part of the production. He got to be the boom guy in the movie.
Remember when I wrote you guys about all the auditions I was going to do for Drama schools here in New York? Well the results are in and after auditioning for more than three months straight- it’s finally over! Thank God.
The schools I auditioned for were Juilliard, AMDA, NYU and Columbia University.It has been a long and tough ride and in the end I am grateful I put myself through it because I just learned so much in the process and met some great people too. Basically the verdict is this- I got accepted into AMDA and was given a $10,000 scholarship but I don’t think I will go there because I just don't have a good feeling about it and when you compare it to the other schools, it is much less well known.

I didn’t pass the Juilliard audition but I didn’t feel disappointed and kept on going strong because I knew the only accepted 16 people out of 2,000 that audition for them. Three days later I had my NYU audition and it went so extremely well. I did a dramatic monologue and the guy at the audition loved it. Then I did a comic monologue and he didn’t stop laughing. It was such a great audition and after that he interviewed me and I presented myself very professionally and very brainy artsy like and the guy there almost proposed marriage to me because it was so good, if I may say so myself. I left with a wonderful feeling and my heart was full of hope and accomplishment. I called my parents and told them how great it went and that I have a very good feeling. I mean getting into NYU would be like winning the lottery for me. It would make me so happy, truly happy and I know I deserved it. I worked really hard and spent so much time and effort and money on all these auditions.

So a few days later I got a letter from NYU saying that I should call there offices to see if they got all my paperwork and that everything was in order. So I called them and they said they have everything including the three letters of recommendation I had to ask my parents get from my drama teachers from Bet Zvi and Alon and stuff and then they said they were only missing my S.A.T test. So I thought about that and realized that I don't freaking have an S.A.T. test. I didn't even know what the hell that was, I mean I went to high school in Israel, they don't have S.A.T'S there... but you can't get into NYU without it. The lady told me that the next test was only in April and they decided at NYU who gets in at the beginning of March. And then she said- I'm sorry but you can't be accepted to NYU but you can try again next year” and I was so upset that I cried for almost two days straight. I mean, it’s one thing not passing an audition or not getting to the next stage because you did a lousy job, but not getting into a school, even though the audition went so well, just because of one piece of paper was just so devastating for me.Eventually, I got over it and that same week I also auditioned for a few low budget independent films and actually got both parts. One part was in a film called “The Three C’s” and the other movie is a hilarious comedy called The “Terrorist Love” story where I had to play an Transvestite. I had a wonderful time and and got to oil up my acting for film.

I attended the auditions at Columbia University this past week and I was not at all expecting to get a call back for a second audition since it is so difficult to get in, like Juilliard, they only accept 19 people but I was called back three times and went all the way through to the final stage of acceptance. I could not believe that out of more than 1,000 applicants I was one of the last twenty-five people considered for admission. Can you believe it ?!?!? I was freaking out!!! I could not believe it. I mean this was something that I wanted so much but I never dreamed that I might actually get in!!! The whole process took more than three full days and now I am just so exhausted, I could sleep an entire weekYesterday I received an e mail from Columbia that they chose 19 people to be in the drama school but that they picked four people to be on the waiting list and I one of them so if one of the 19 people they picked can’t go for some reason than I am seriously being considered for acceptance.
Even if it doesn’t happen and I don’t get in- I am still so happy because I never thought I would get this far and it just made me feel so good that all this hard work got me to this point

So guys, that’s what’s up with me. I hope my story wasn’t too long and that you didn’t fall asleep in the middle and I want you guys to know that I feel your love and support every step of the way even if you don't mean to be supportive

So now Go out there and live your Dream because you can do anything you set your mind to and don't let anyone tell you any different. You can make it if you don't give up. I know it sounds corny but I feel that it is so true- now more than ever. If you work hard enough- You will make it happen
A little good luck never hurt anybody either

Hye...

I know I am usually the one who is always preaching about positive energies and positive thinking but these past few days I have been feeling very depressed. I have been crying quit a bit as well. Well, I am a woman and that is one of my privlages- Crying.
Take it from me. The only thing that crying does is make your eye lids look poofy. Technically it doesn't even releave tention.
So just for laughs I looked up the word SAD on Google Images and look what came up. A photgraph of Mackaley Kalkin (I don't think I spelled that right- Please, could his name have more K's and C's?)
Ironically it seems that Mackaley feels the same way as I do in this picture simply named- SAD.
Do you think it's because his controlling father finally divorced his nurotic mother for blowing all of thier child stars' money after he kept dissapointing them when his blooming career started to wither away thus leaving his controlling, nurotic parents no way to live out their dreams of Hollywood stradom through thier young hollywood child actor, forcing them to seperate for good?

Or is he just having a tough week like I am?

Wazup Honeys?!?!?!?

Guess what Sivan in the City found out!!!! Did you know that this whole time I thought that Robin Williams went to Juilliard (and he did go) they actually kicked him out after the second year and when I met him in the city a few months ago I told him that I was going to audition again and he said to me “dont worry about it, you'll be fine” and now I feel like I made such a Fadicha (which in Hebrew means Boo- Boo) Well I hope I didnt make him feel too uncomfortable. So this is the picture of us that we took and if you rememeber I told you it came out blurry because my friend Mikel who was takeing the pic didnt know how to make the picture in focus but it's not his fault.. he is actually a chef so a word of advice to you all- Keep the Chefs in the kitchen!!! Don't let chefs take pictures of you when you meet a Celebrity.As you can see the pic is very very blurry so you really have to look closley to see that its really him in the picture. Just skwint your eyes and say: “Mrs. Doughtfire, Mrs. Doughtfire, Mrs. Doughtfire”!!!

So its true i did get into AMDA and I was excited about it for like three minutes but the truth is I really wanted to get into Juilliard. I am just being honest. I mean AMDA is a great school but Juilliard is number one! The audition was yesterday and I really had a good feeling. This year they were going to audition about 1,500 people and did maybe 300 -400 each day and when the auditions were over they put up a list on the wall with the names of the people that went on to the second stage of the auditions- i think there are at least three stages and my name was not on that list. They only picked four or five people out of all of us to go on to the second level so like 495 people all got into the elevator and we all went home. I was dissapointed because I had a good feeling this time becasue it was also the second year that I am trying out for Juillliard and I did try my best and worked A LOT on my Sakespeare monologue and took private acting lessons and private Voice lessons that cost a whole lot of money and in the end I had a very good audition so I guess its all from above and it was not in my destiny to go to that school. So I am not really that bummed out. They only accept 20 students each year out of 1,500 so its really like winning the acting lottery. Ah. Whatever. Who needs them.

Does anyone have change of a dollar?

Hello and Greetings!!!

So... Do You like the picture? This is my awsome brother Aviv. He is 3 years younger than me, a musician. He palys guitar and is the lead singer in a death metal band called MAGOR which means HELL in biblical hebrew. Sounds scary , Hugh. Don't worry, Aviv is so cute, really. In this amazing picture of his crowd -surfing (which always reminds me of that scene inWaynes World 2... I know...I know- I should watch better movies- but waynes world is a classic) anyway in this pic my cute bro is at the WAKEN heavy metal festival in Germany. Yup, he and his friends are so into this stuff that they all flew to Germany with the little money they had just to get in on some crazy, dark, heavy metal stuff. I just love this photo he sent me. Looks like a good time. I wish we could all stay young forever and do crazy stuff like this all the time. Or maybe not. I am actually planning on going to THE BURNING MAN FESTIVAL in August this year.
If you haven't heard of it you should definetley look into it. Its a Spontanious festival that happens each year at the end of summer. 200,000 people come together in the desert in Nevada for a week and create a temporary community where they deal with art and love and sharing. Basically a huge rainbow gathering. Wanna come? Check out http://www.burningman.com/ to see how wonderful this festival really is

and rememeber- Pizza always tastes better if you eat it cold... straight out of the fridge

Yes my friends, Pablo Picasso lives on!!! I know it might seem strange now but this is his latest work named simply "The Adventures of Sivan in the City". I possed for Pablo a while back and never did i dream in a thousand years that the final outcome would look so marvolous. No now seriously. Guess who got into AMDA? ME ME ME MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I could not beleive it but I got a call today and they said I'm in!!! I was so happy!!! I still can't believe it!!! The American Musical and Dramatic Academy.
This was actualy the headshot I sent them so when they saw me in person they were much happier to see that my face looks so much better than it does in the Picasso recreation. This wondeful piece was really put together by my good friend Adi Forti from Israel who studys
Animation in an Art school in Israel. So if anyone out there ever needs to fix up photo of themsleves...Adi Forti can have you looking like this in no time. Think about it. I hear his prices are pretty reasonable too. He gave this one to me for free since we are such good friends... Ah the perks of being Sivan in the City. I get free stuff like this all the time. I love life.

Don't forget to wash behing your ears,
Sivan

Greetings to all
Due to the enormus amount of fan mail I have been getting lately, demanding for a picture of myself to be posted in this blog, I have decided to give my readers what they want. After all it's all about the readers. I've done a little research, as I love to do, and found that there are many blogs with pictures of girls in their bikinis (forget it! I'm not giving you the website) and since I don't have any of those, you all with have to do with a picture of me riding the subway, bareing my tan loveley shoulder.
I hope you likey.
And now a more interesting topic ME. You all know about the stone age and about myself being bored and just sitting at home with an occasional visit to an audition where I never get the part anyway right? ( what kind of attitude is that?)
Well, after visiting "The Olive Tree Cafe", the restaurant and comedey club, for a ZILLION times to ask if they needed a waitress and each time getting :"come back tommorrow", I finally got an interview with the manager and I was hired- out of like 25 people. Great right? Here's the weird thing; Sometimes you're sitting at home doing nothing for the longest time when suddenley everything comes back at you all at once. The same day a friend of mine, Doron, said that he got me an interview at THE BLUE NOTE, which is a Jazz club in the village.
So now I'm thinking "I know why this is happening... This is December, the month of miricales and thats why I might be getting two jobs at the same time when it took me so long just to find one!!!! "But what am I whinning about?!?!?" That's not really a problem. Oh nevermind, I just love to complain.
"I am woman, hear me whine". Now this is where your part comes in: We are now asking all the readers to please vote whether Sivan should work at the Comedy Cellar or at the Jazz Club.
To enter this amazing, once in a lifetime sweepstakes and be alibagle to win awesome prizes, (not really) post a comment stating where you think Sivan should work and why. The first 30 people to send in a comment will automatically be included in the Sivan in the city Lottery. So hurry!!!! Time is running out!!!
Oh and if you didn't know; Majik is the hottest wedding band in Town!!!!!

Ta Ta for now, Darlings

Hye guysI am sorry I haven't written in a while. Alot of sh%$t has been going down lately. First and most importantly- I found out the hard way, that I have a stone in my kiddney. I know, I thought about the same thing when I got the news: "But I'm not a grandmother. What the heck is going on?". Let me tell you something, if you have never felt the pain of a k. stone trapped inside of you - you have never felt pain at all. For me it felt like that scene from the movie THE EXCORSIST but in HEBREW. My good friend Shawn's mother had one and she discribed the pain as worse than giving birth so actually right now I have rid myself of the fear of having a baby. Well you know what they say: "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and "whatever does kill you makes your mother stronger". So it's a win-win situation really. Shawn aslo got me this special Kabbalah Pincas water that is blessed and only people that can prove they have a medical condition can buy it. I know what youre thinking: "Hye how come Sivan gets this special VIP water stuff and I don't?"- Three words: "EXORCIST IN HEBREW". But don't worry about me. In the past two weeks I've been feeling just fine.And now on a more interesting, physically pain- free side of things; I have been to a few auditions lately. The last one was for the new Play RENT now. Ya it was really fun- NOT.The only Good thing I get out of these auditions is that I get really cinical while waiting in line for zillions of hours and I get to practice my jokes out loud and see what response I get. It's usually pretty good. I get a lot of laughs. So I'm thinking of doing a comedy show... I serious. I can do it.I love to complain about anything and everything and basically stand-up is just complaining about stuff in a funny voice. So It's like you are joking about stuff but people don't really think that you're talking about stuff that really pisses you off. But you are. Like Ellen DeGeneres jokes about how lazy we have become over the years that we can't do anything by ourselves anymore. She goes "We don't even buy breath mints anymore. Now we have these breath strips that just disolve on your tounge for you. I think, that if we, as a people, can't suck anymore, there must be something wrong."
And with that I bid you good night and sweet dreams

Guess who met Robin Williams the other week!!!
Yes I must admit... It was me. I wanted to tell you earlier but I was waiting for the right moment... no the truth is that we took a photo and it came out blurry so you will just have to wait for the next time I meet him again... wich will probably not take long because when I get my first big role on Hollywood he will probably have his people call my people and we will do lunch. No but now for real, what happened was that my friends and I were walking down Mcdougal Street and we passed by Mamun's Falafel(he really has great falafel by the way) and who was standing in line? Robi!!! So I just walked up him and said" Robin I'm sorry to disturb you but... and then he put his arm around me and said" Sure, we can take a picture." I was actually shocked because even though I wanted to have a picture I more was interested
in talking so I told him that i audtioned for Juilliard (he went there) and I didn't get in. He was so nice he said "Don't worry about it. You'll do great." and then he asked where I study now and when I said Hb Studios he replied "that's a great school too." Then he said "keep at it and you'll be fine" and I said Thank you so much I really admire you. You are great" He was so modest and down to earth. It was a really nice experience.

So that's it for this weeks "Life Styles of the Hip and Fabulous"
till next time

I forgot to tell you guys that I got a new job!!!
I quit the Italian place because they were giving me really bad shifts and I was makeing no money and now after being unemployed for about almost a month, I seem to have found a place that I think and hope is a little more serious...
SMACK in the middle of Times Square!!!! It's a Japanese restuarant and we all know how much Sivan in the city loves sushi!!! Training is going to be around a month and then you have to pass three written tests to get to server level- Ya for real. These people mean business. I hope that also means dollars because mama need some money for her bling. Sorry, that's me trying my street talk again. Now you can try the Y or Y test. Look at the picture above. If you feel a warm, pleasent and a kind of craving for sushi feeling- then you are most likely a sushi lover. If you feel like barfing then please don't visit me at work.

Bon Apetite,
Sivan in the city
Have you noticed that this sushi comes with a hook up to your computer???? weird...

I made the sign by the way... Isn't it pretty and colorful?!? Ya, I know... Its hard to be so modset when you are this multi talented...

And now the really interesting part:
WHAT HAPPENED AT MY AUDITION:
WELL THE AUDITION WAS HELD IN BOSTON AT GILLET STADIUM, WHICH IS A
FOOTBALL STADIUM THAT CAN HOLD ABOUT 60,000 PEOPLE.
I GOT THERE AT 2:00 AT NIGHTI TOOK A TRAIN TO CANAL STREET WHICH IS IN CHINA TOWN IN NEW YORK CITY.
THEN I TOOK THE CHINA TOWN FUNG WAH BUS ALL THE WAY TO BOSTON AND THEN ANOTHER TWO TRAINS IN BOSTON AND THEN A BUS WHICH GOT ME TWO STREET WALKING DISTANCE TO A HOSTEL WHICH IS LIKE A CHEAP MOTEL FOR TRAVELERS. IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY NICEAND REALLY CHEAP ($20). THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY BEDS LEFT SINCE IT WAS 2 IN THE MORNING SO THEY GAVE ME A BIG QUEEN SIZED MATRESS AND I WAS SLEEPING IN THE LOUNGE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR ALL BY MYSELF SO IT WAS LIKE I GOT A PRIVATE ROOM. THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP AT FIVE IN THE MORNING AND TOOK ANOTHER BUS ANOTHER TWO TRAINS AND A CAB TO GET TO THE STADIUM. I GOT THERE AT 7:00 AM. IT WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ALL THE WAY TO THE STADIUMFOR THE AUDITION ON WEDNSDAY. IN THE END I GOT THERE! BUT WHEN I DID GET THERE I WAS AMAZED TO FIND A LINE OF ABOUT 10,000 PEOPLE IM NOT KIDDING, ALREADY WAITING TO GET IN, IN ORDER TO GET A NUMBER IN LINE BECAUSE THE ACTUAL AUDITION WAS A DAY LATER.
THESE PEOPLE WERE JUST STANDING IN LINE TO GET IN LINE FOR THE AUDITION WHICH WAS ON THE NEXT DAY!!! TO YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING HERE?!?!?
OH YA, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ONE REALLY IMPORTANT DETAIL: IT STARTED TO RAIN!!! AND NO ONE HAD UMBRELLAS!!! AND WE STOOD IN LINE FROM 7 IN THE MORNING TILL 2 IN THE AFTERNOON!!! IN THE RAIN!!! DRIPPING WET!!! BUT NO ONE WOULD LEAVE OR GIVE UP OR GO HOME!!! PEOPLE WANTED TO GET INTO THIS AUDITION!!!
ANWAY I GOT A TICKET AND A NUMBER FOR THE AUDITION FOR THE NEXT DAY AND I WENT BACK TO THE MOTEL TO SLEEP. I GOT UP THE NEXT DAY AT 4 AM IN ORDER TO GET TO THE AUDITION NO LATER THAN 6 AM- THAT’S WHAT THE PROUDUCERS TOLD EVERYBODY!!!
WHEN I GOT THERE WE COULD ALL SIT INSIDE THE STADIUM- BUT THE CATH IS THAT IT WAS AN OPEN STADIUM AND THERE WERE NOW 25,000- PEOPLE ALL SITTING THERE WAITING FOR THERE AUDITION IN THE RAIN!!!!! WITH RAINCOATS AND UMBRELLAS THIS TIME BUT STILL IN THE RAIN. ANYWAY THEY HAD US SING THE SONG “SINGIING IN THE RAIN” FOR THE COMMERCIAL ON TELEVISION SO THEY COULD SHOW HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAME OUT TO AUDITION FOR THEIR SHOW IN THE RAIN AND AFTER THAT THEY STARTED TO BRING PEOPLE DOWN TO THE STADIUM SO THEY COULD AUDITION- ONCE AGAIN- IN THE RAIN!!!
SO THERE WERE 14 TABLES IN THE FIELD AND EACH TABLE HAD TWO JUDGES AND THEY SENT 8 PEOPLE TO EACH TABLE TO AUDITION SO IN QUICK MATH THAT IS 112 PEOPLE AUDITIONING AT THE SAME TIME INSIDE A HUG FOOTBALL FIELD WHEN 24,00O OTHER PEOPLE ARE WATCHING.
SOUND GREAT RIGHT.
AT AROUND 3 PM, AFTER WAITNG FOR MY GROUPS TURN SINCE 6 AM IT WAS FINALLY MY TURN!!! I WAS SO EXCITED. MY HEART WAS RACING MAYBE 90 MILES PER HOUR. THIS MY BIG MOMENT! TO FINALLY AUDITION BEFORE BIG HOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS.
MY TURN WAS UP. THEY HAD US LINE UP IN FRONT OF THEIR TABLES, FOUR AT A TIME.
“OK, YOU! WHATS YOUR NAME?” “MY NAME IS SIVAN “ I REPLEID “THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL NAME. OK SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SING FOR US?” “WELL” I SAID WITH PRIDE “MORE THAN WORDS BY EXTREME” “OK GO AHEAD” AND I DID… “SAYING I LOVE YOU IS NOT THE WORDS I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU” I FELT LIKE DIANA ROSS, I FELT LIKE TRACY CHAPMAN, I FELT LIKE TORRI AMOS, I FELT LIKE THE WIND… “ITS NOT THAT I WANT YOU NOT TO SAY BUT IF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO SHOW ME HOW YOU FEEEEE----“ WHAT HAPPENED?… “OK THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH BUT THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR IS VERY TOUGH SO PLEASE EXIT THE STADIUM TO YOUR LEFT. THANX”
AND THAT WAS IT MY TEN SECONDS WERE UP. AND I DIDN’T MAKE . ALL MY HARD WORK AND EFFORT FOR A MEASLY TEN SECONDS?!?!!?!
JUST THEN A WARM AND CALM FEELING CAME OVER ME. I FELT GOOD. I FELT PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I MANAGED TO GET ALL THIS WAY JUST SO I COULD HAVE THESE TEN SECONDS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP MUCH BEFORE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULDN’T HAVE EVEN LEFT THERE COZEY HOUSE FOR A CHANCE LIKE THIS.
BUT I DID AND I WENT ALL THE WAY. SO I DIDN’T GET IN. THE CHANCES WERE ALMOSE ONE IN A MILLLION.

BUT YOU CAN'T WIN THE LOTTERY IF YOU DONT BUY THE TICKET!!!!

AND IF YOUR ASKING YOURSELF WHAT ALL THIS WAS FOR- IT WAS AN AUDITION FOR AMERICAN IDOL AND YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IM GONNA DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL
SIVAN IN THE CITY

Hello Darling Friends,

Yes my honeys I’m still in New York… Still working as a waitress…Still with Ariel…Still eating pickles…The only things that have changed are thatI now have a computer which I purchased form Yearit,a nice girl that I used to work with, and now have access to Ze internet after such a long time.Another new addition is my cousin Shani Samama fromIsrael, which came to visit me,and is living with us until October.She is also surprisingly working as a waitress. I do have some plans though, this is the exciting part: THE PLAN:I have a big audition on the 31 of August so wish me luck and cross your fingers. Generate all your positive energy and focus it on the New York area more specifically- East 8th street second floor New York. I’m also trying to save up because I really need a vacation from all this work work work in the past two years.So its gonna be either to Thailand or to South America.Please take the time to send in your vote and tell me which place you think is better to travel to.The first 100 people to send in there votes will have a chance to participate in a raffle and one of you lucky people win a wonderful new pencil sharpener. Yes, it might be a little too late for the trip now,but as you know Sivan Hadari marches to the beat of her own drum.Other than that in the general future I am thinking about coming back to New York after the vacation and finally starting school.I have a gut feeling deep down inside that its going to be business.I mean its true that I have always wanted to be an artist but for some reason it seems to me that I like money a lot and I really love spending money on useless shit (pardon my French) that nobody else wants.Therefore majoring in business might give me a better edge on becoming rich.
As for being famous- I’m already famous so that solves one problem. Please send us your vote whether Sivan should attend business school or just stay a waitress for the rest of her life.
The first 50 people to send in there votes will automatically wina new pink calculator.
So in conclusion I send you lots of kisses and good wishes and may god have mercy on us all Sivan in the city
