Well...it never fails! The life of an artist is ALWAYS crazy and unpredictable. Since I returned home from Hawaii, it's been go go go! I worked lots of extra hours at the coffee shop during Stampede, did some extra babysitting, and lined up the rest of the summer. My mom came down for a week to help me through a bit of a rough time, and she got to see what my life is really like: running around with the kids, cleaning up after them, jetting out to work, then rehearsal, then maybe a babysitting job or an acting class. Yes, pretty hectic, but I love it!
On the 23rd I started rehearsals for A Twist Of Murder going up next week at The Calgary Fringe Festival, and it's been a GREAT learning experience (as all shows one does should be!)! I also had the opportunity to do a random job last week for WORKOPOLIS.COM handing out lunch bags to working professionals, downtown Calgary from 6am till 9am. Easy way to make some fast cash! My amazing friend Marissa will be coming back for the Fringe Festival on Monday, and I'm SUPER stoked about that! Also, I just was able to land some background work in a Disney Movie filming here in Calgary called "Snoglobe". I'll be downtown shooting all Wednesday night (6pm-6am)! Fun stuff. ALSO...I'll be doing a very small bit role in an independent film in a few weeks that a friend is Assistant Director of.
On top of that my theatre is lined up for my 2 fall shows: "BROKEN" written by Roger Mason and myself, Directed by Sharla Erik, and performed by.....ME, September 6-9, "MELVILLE BOYS" written by Norm Foster and Directed by Deanna Adam, December 5-8. I'll be acting in that one as well! Both shows will be held at The Birds and Stone Theatre.
So...needless to say, things are rolling along. this year is all about saving money for a BIG move to Chicago Illinois in September 2008!
Well, that's it in a nutshell for now...
