What’s New
When saying "yes" gets me more than I bargained for (in a great way!)
I'm very excited to announce that a project I've been working on will premiere in Dublin, Ireland, January 14-17, 2016, as part of the First Fortnight Festival. The work is a solo performance written and performed by my colleague and friend, Jenny Macdonald, a Canadian by birth who's lived and worked in Ireland for the last several years as an artist and arts facilitator.

Artists I admire: Jonathan Harden
Through his new podcast series called The Honest Actors' Podcast at inanything.com, London-based, Belfast-born artist-actor Jonathan Harden has found a way to share with the world the stories of actors, and those stories run run the gamut. From finding success to dealing with dead end auditions. From figuring out what to do between gigs to dealing with the feelings that come up when the gigs don't come. Jonathan's podcasts are not the usual candy-coated interviews we experience with actors.
Acknowledging the vulnerability
Now I find it difficult to fall asleep at night. My mind wanders through the news and experiences of the day, and I imagine disastrous outcomes. Or I think of things I could say. Should say. Or actions I could take that might somehow change what's happening in the world. Then the defeated feeling sets in.
