Heart all full and bursty. Sleep biting at my heels, but I'm loving blogging more regularly, and there's so much to be grateful for. People I'm blown away by in my life... and so many of them. Texts, emails, messages and facebook messages that touched me and even a voicemail from that Gaelle one. Can't wait!I get to work with Rob Grundel, who impresses and inspires me. So proud, and so happy. What a great partnership to be part of. What pleasure and honour. On the work front again, I had yet another stream of talented, committed and just LOVELY actors, many of whom I'd never met before, some of whom I had, to work and play with for the day. I get paid to do what I love. Okay, so I love a lot of things, and I get to do a lot of things. There's very little I do for work that I don't love. Today (get THIS) I was allowed to do presentation/pitch coaching with high-flying graduate programme people (wee whippersnappers building futures). I loved it. I loved them. I loved that this is what work is, and that I had another job in today, and one dropped yesterday in agreement with me, when I declined to work for free on a Saturday after reading the message 'the training is unpaid, but without doing it, you can't do the placement'. It's great. I was wondering whether I really wanted to do that job, and it turns out that that message helped me realise that I didn't, really. Ace.
Catalyst Club tonight, with Dave and Rach... that was ace. I was impressed with Rachel Blackman, who gave a juicy, meaty, hearty talk about the background to her new play, Moon Project, full of rich noticings about trauma release, self, story related to self and differences between animal and human processing of shock. I'm still chewing (and I just munched another midnight pickle, so I can hardly wait to let that vinegary consciousness loose on itself in sleep). Great company. Good brainjuice. I'm talking at it in December, as is Dave. As he said earlier... PARTY!
