JANUARY 2018
Happy New Year! I've just signed up for an American accents course at City Lit. Meanwhile, planning is now underway for next month's Page to Stage. For current news (e.g. call-outs for writers, directors and actors), join the Facebook group or follow the posts here.
FEBRUARY 2018
Having had an amazing number of scripts submitted for this month's Page to Stage, it was a challenge choosing four. And on the night, I was so grateful to all those involved, with everyone working hard to create a fab evening. Much fun had by all.
MARCH 2018
Busy with auditions and quite a few workshops this month - including an all-day workshop with Finnian Tweed (casting director), organised by N1.
It was great to work with fellow N1 members. I also enjoyed another 2-day Scaffold Shakespeare workshop, this time working on Two Gentlemen of Verona.
APRIL 2018
Read two pieces in Liars League event 'small + beautiful', an evening of actors reading quirky mini stories. And loved doing more Scaffold Shakespeare workshops this month: Henry IV Part I and Comedy of Errors. Great fun cold-reading them, followed by discussing / workshopping various themes.
MAY 2018
Began the month with 2 office days at N1, and then off to Scotland for 2 weeks holiday (walking entire length
of Hadrian's Wall – amazing!). Back in London, there was lots to organise for the June Page to Stage, from casting to appointing directors to briefing the panel to designing the programme.
JUNE 2018
Pic: filming a scene to add to my showreel. And really enjoyed an all-day workshop with CD Lucy Jenkins,
organised by me on behalf of N1. Also on behalf of N1, I went to various drama school showcases - we're on the look-out for talent we can represent well! And we had a lovely (air conditioned) June Page to Stage.
JULY 2018
It was an honour to perform in Sunday's Child, a powerful new play with Mad'Ed Theatre about the impact of Clause 28. If you were around in the '80s the memories come flooding back; if you weren't you'll be stunned by what some people believed were acceptable attitudes back then.
AUGUST 2018
The perfect month to get my stuff together. Filmed another scene to update my showreel, recorded some new v/o tracks for my voicereel, and booked in new headshots with Nicholas Dawkes. No-one I know enjoys getting headshots done, but Nic comes highly recommended.
SEPTEMBER 2018
To my surprise, I enjoyed my headshot photo shoot with Nic Dawkes. He made it fun, and was really creative. Would happily recommend him to anyone nervous about getting theirs done. Here's my final selection. Meanwhile the September Page to Stage was another excellent evening.
OCTOBER 2018
Thrilled to have a newly cut showreel, and to add some great new tracks to my voice reel. And I had a great time performing again with Liars League - reading the twisted tale Another Mother by Michael Harris Cohen.
NOVEMBER 2018
Organising and hosting this month's Page to Stage once again went very well - with four great scripts, a fab team of directors and writers, a wise and generous industry panel, and a lively, engaged audience.
DECEMBER 2018
Organised by my Equity branch, I did a really interesting CD workshop this month with Aisha Bywaters. And as it was my turn to chair the monthly N1 meeting – in our fab new office – it was also my job to organise Xmas
drinkies at a local pub. No problem!
