Stepping Stones

'One step at a time' my nana once said to me; and how right she was. Since my last blog a few things have changed, and it has made me realise how important it is to savour every moment and every experience that you encounter. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement and not really absorb the experience itself; which is why i have given myself a few days of reflection before writing this entry.

The first piece of news is that i got a part in The V-Day London production of The Vagina Monologues. I auditioned for the part after my return from Istanbul and received confirmation a few days later. Our first rehearsal was early last week and i am honestly so excited about the project and the group of women that i will be working with. They are all wonderful performers and are all drawn to the VM'S for different reasons making the group not only diverse but also extremely passionate about what we are creating together. The performances are in early March and i predict that i am about to embark upon a very interesting few weeks ....i can't wait!

This week also saw me reach one of the most important stepping stones of my career so far. I have been offered, and accepted, representation with Red Canyon Management. It is a step that is fundamental in forwarding my career and something that i have been working towards since graduating. I was strangely at home in Dorset when i received the call, which made the whole experience even more special. My parents and family have been so supportive of me for through whole of my training, and the months since graduating that to be able to share that moment with them was extremely special to me and one that i will never forget.

As for what will happen in the future .... we will see. Right now i am just thankful that i am moving forwards, progressing, get closer to reaching my goals and still loving every second of this journey that i am taking . I could not have asked for a better start to 2010, things seem to be falling into place one step at a time.
