Brand New Burst!

If this week could be described in one word... it would be .. PROACTIVE! I literally have not stopped! I love the beginning of a new year because there is always this fresh burst of energy waiting to be used in one direction or other. I am one of those people that always has about a million things going on all at once and so one of my new years resolutions ( i have about 7 hah) is to take more time, and be less hectic. This in mind i decided that i would take a couple of days off this week when everyone else is out of the flat to sort out any lose ends from last year, and work out what i was going to do with this one. I can't work in mess or clutter so after a sorting out internet and phone lines, painting the stairs and doing every piece of laundry in the house (don't wash red sheets with flatmate's blue and white scarf.... also never wash wool on 40 degrees oops... learning things already!) i was just about ready to start.

I spent the days emailing contacts from last year and new contacts that i have met through people during the last few plays i have done. I think everyone must be enjoying this new year energy burst as I received reply's almost instantaneously!! As a result i now potentially have meetings with two people. And have also secured an audition!

The audition is for the fabulous 'Vagina Monologues'. You may have heard of this production before as it is quite well known. I have auditioned for and performed with V-Day London for the past three years. It is an absolutely wonderful campaign that strives to end violence against women permanently. This year V-Day London is hosting a See You Next Tuesday Festival and the performance of the Vagina Monologues will be a part of it! All the proceeds go to building the 'City of Joy' for the women and girls of the Congo who are being so brutally treated. I would encourage everyone who reads this to get involved with V-Day i will be hopefully be performing in the festival, but even if i'm not, i'll be there supporting the cause all the way!

So, with that being said i need to prepare! Off to Istanbul for a couple of days tomorrow for some r&r then straight back in to things on my return! If the rest of the year continues to be as rewarding as this one i'm really looking forward to it :)
