New Projects

This past week was full of meetings and sessions. I visited some rehearsals and met with some student artists. I am helping them with certain elements of their performance projects. They are looking good and we are hoping all will work out for them to be a part of a festival hosted at a venue here in London in September. Talks about all that continue.

The 8Squared team met and discussed our future plans. Three on our team will be rotating off now and will be greatly missed. The two of us remaining will recruit new producing team members from the incoming class and any current students who might be interested in getting involved. We have a good plan of action for moving forward into this next academic year. Submissions will be open soon and it will all begin again!

This past week I also met with an alum of the producing course. Her name is Catherine and she has a producing company that keeps busy. I'm excited to be joining them on an upcoming project and look forward to getting started next week.

I'm still searching for the right projects to support my thesis. I am looking for both a play and a musical in development. I have some queries out and hope to get answers on those soon.

Students halls are fairly quiet right now. Many students have finished for the year and have moved out. Others are traveling. My flatmate, Rita, is still here and is working hard on a case study. Rita and I have been trying to motivate each other in the quest for a healthy lifestyle. We have worked out and often review our food choices with each other. With classes concluded this is a fantastic time for me to throw some focus on health.

This coming week I am planning on seeing a show or two. One is tomorrow afternoon and I have a few friends involved with that one. I'm also looking forward to meeting my friend, Emma, on Wednesday to celebrate her birthday.

I'll keep you posted on all the projects. In the meantime, get out and see some theatre!

Take care!
