JANUARY 2024

Photo: did a fun table-read of a TV script by Philip Lawrence, who we showcased years ago at Page to Stage (he went on to write for EastEnders, Casualty etc.). Also attended the Actors UK Casting Directors Q&A with Alison Murchie (Nancy Bishop Casting) and Zita Zutic Konak (ET Casting).

FEBRUARY 2024

Photo: the N1 stand at the Cine Circle TV & Film Job Fair in Harrow. From the moment the doors opened, we had solid queues to speak to us all day! Meanwhile, we had a great first Page to Stage of the year. See the Page to Stage programmes page for full details of the February event.

MARCH 2024

Very much enjoyed an Actors Guild workshop with Naomi Downham, Senior Casting Assistant at the National Theatre. We worked in pairs on scenes and discussed ways of working with Naomi, who then held a friendly and open Q&A about casting processes at the NT and elsewhere.

APRIL 2024

Here are eight inspired members of N1 and the highly talented accent coach Molly Parker (far right), after a highly productive workshop on US accents. And the April Page to Stage was great fun, with a really engaged audience and generous panel. See the Page to Stage programmes page for full details of the April event.

MAY 2024

Delighted to run the N1 workshop 'Taking Charge of Your Career, the Co-op Way' with postgrad students at Rose Bruford. We took them through many aspects of finding an agent, and had some really interesting conversations. Meanwhile, prep is well underway for next month's Page to Stage.

JUNE 2024

We had another fabulous Page to Stage this month! I don't normally cast myself, but this time around we had a casting gap so I was delighted to play Randolph Radish (a rabbit) in Penguin Cafe by Penny Grant. Great fun being on stage at The Water Rats. See the Page to Stage programmes page for full details of the June event.

JULY 2024

Following a successful self-tape, I
had a fun recall at the London Film Academy in Fulham. I was impressed by the students' professionalism, and it was fab to be doing an audition in the room! Spent much of the rest of the month on the other side of the table, running auditions for N1. Met some good people, and we've voted to offer a few places.

AUGUST 2024

Following an intense few months co-organising many aspects of life at N1, it was great to chill out in Regents Park for the annual summer party. Here's a pic of a few reprobates who've enjoyed chatting, drinking, and grazing on picnic nibbles. I love this photo! Good times.

SEPTEMBER 2024

The photo is part of the poster for A Doll's Head in Hackney by Kathryn Sharpe, read by me as one of five stories for the annual Liars League Women & Girls event. It featured an amazing range of female-led stories, from aliens to arson! It's always a pleasure to take part in this event, and to exercise the narrator muscles.

OCTOBER 2024

Big news! After enjoying 7 years at N1, I had an opportunity to change agent - and decided that change is healthy. As may be obvious from the photo, I am now represented by Arena Personal Management. I have
a few zoom calls booked in to get me set up, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

NOVEMBER 2024

As paid-up members of the CPMA (Co-operative Personal Management Association), both Arena and N1 were represented at their speaker meeting this month (by my friend Kat and I - see pic). It was a great evening, on agent relationships with casting directors. Lots of good advice and a fun venue (the CAA club).

DECEMBER 2024

Sadly no Christmas party pix this year, due to sorting out a family bereavement. But we had a few Page to Stage meetings, getting the wheels rolling for our January event. The script deadline was just before Christmas. We chose our final scripts on 30th, and posted the actor + director call-outs on 31st!
