In this podcast we'll explore all the different roles I've taken, in life and art, how I managed to make sense of a life in this industry, and how I've come to cultivate a creative life I love.

<p>I took a few months off from podcasting. And in that time new projects entered my life, which you will certainly hear about on the podcast, but not today. </p> <p>With September in the air, and as I prepared for a busy day ahead of me, I found myself thinking about the relationship between business and fun and was reminded about this podcast so I wanted to sit down and record an episode. </p> <p>This episode is about a fond memory I have of work and play. I performed the role of Helen in Martin McDonagh's "The Cripple of Inishmaan" (scene study) in grad school. I think I might be a little shy to discuss some of the characters I worked on in grad school because I didn't perform the whole play. In the same breath, I can also tell you how much I enjoyed working on this play and this character with my incredible scene partner Geoff Hymers, under the direction of the late Elizabeth Kemp. </p> <p>This process was hard, and satisfying. This relationship and story were personal and also completely foreign to me. I didn't mention it in the episode but I also had to speak with an Irish accent and worked with a dialect coach to achieve this. </p> <p>I hope your back to school and back to work season is off to a great start, and don't forget to schedule in some fun for yourself. </p>

<p>I began writing, producing, and directing film in 2016 in the summer after I graduated from my MFA. I wasn't crystal clear on what I wanted to share, but I began regardless, and I ended up making a couple of projects right away that summer, including "Girls Gone Mild" a satire on millenial married women. It's not something that I've shared publicly because it's not the best executed joke or storytelling, but it was a milestone in my learning and development as a filmmaker. I'm posting it on my Patreon for my members! Not a member yet? Join and I'll keep posting some fun things. Hope you're having a great start to the week. xo</p>

<p>I started dancing ballet when I was three. All the women in my family have danced. My mom is 69 years old and she still dances ballet twice a week, so does my sister. I only danced for 15 years, once a week, and although I really enjoyed elements of it, I never loved it. I find it hard to spend so much time on the warm-up exercises, I just want to do floor work the whole time. Can you tell I'm an actor? haha. I hope you enjoy today's short episode. More coming soon. </p>
