Wow!!! haven't really had a chance to think in the last few weeks. Work ....rehearsals and performances....... absolutely no complaining!
For the last two weeks I have been appearing in the production of 'Canary', at the Hampstead theatre. Written by Jonathan Harvey and directed by Hettie Mcdonald, it is a story of love honesty and being brave enough to sing out!!! Featuring a cast including Philip Voss, Kevin Trainor and Paula Wilcox, you're garunteed a fantastic night... would be great to see you there if you fancy a night at the theatre :)Today i also started rehearsal for the Shanghai World expo 2010. The rehearsals will be daily for the next 2 weeks and will include a variety of workshops with theatre groups such as complicite and blind summit. Today included kareoke, slapstick, penguins and ALOT of laughter; a fantastic combination i think you'll all agree. It was awesome to meet the cast properly and bounce ideas off of each other. There is a lot of work to be done in a very short time and the next couple of weeks will be pretty intense but i can for see already that it is going to be a very enjoyable, very very funny experience...... and we haven't even got to China yet :)
The performance is to be a 45 minute showcase of British comedy based on the framework of the Olympic games. We will be rehearsing at the university, SIVA, just outside of Shanghai, where we will collaborate with 8 chinese actors, we will then move to the Expo site and be performing 3 times a day in the British Pavillion and on the European Stage. I literally cannot wait!!! XXXX
