Going with the Flow

Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task. More often than not you stumble upon the truth in the dark, colliding with it or just glimpsing an image or a shape which seems to correspond to the truth, often without realising that you have done so. But the real truth is that there never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost. - Harold Pinter

Simply Amazing...


Okay People. I know it's been awhile. And I know you're all going to probably throw up in your mouths a little upon reading this blog, but I need to let you all know(not that you don't already) that I am quite possibly the luckiest man alive. For those of you who saw her performance at the intensive, you will know why. Kaylee is absolutely amazing. So talented and so ambitious and enthusiastic. She loves what she's doing so much. You can see it in her eyes and her smile. She's an absolute natural. She's going to go far. If you have money...bet on it.
Ain't she pretty?!

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll


So I'm in this show. And It's pretty fantastic I gotta be honest with you. Our cast is super talented and extremely cohesive. Our production team is awesome and this show is challenging me in ways I have not experienced before. At least not to this degree. I've done short scenes and such but nothing quite with this range of emotion and fantastic character development. I love my character, Warren. It just so fascinating to get into his head, to figure out why he does the kind of things he does. Mostly because he's really not like me at all. Thats what I love most about acting, the opportunity to become someone else, to act in ways you would never act in real life. That's exciting kids. That's a rush.

This is our Youth plays at the Presentation House Theatre in North Van, Wednesday-Saturday from August 16th-September 2nd. Check it out. You'll like it.

Don't expect TOO much

Okay! So here I am. I caved. I gave in to the craze. I love reading about my friends so figured I should return the favour. Problem is, whenever I start one of these things I always stop using it a couple weeks later. Don't let that happen! It'll be a good way to keep track of my progress (or lack thereof) at UVIC. And you can watch me get wise and mature (highly unlikely) right before your very eyes.

By the way, I can't take credit for this because it was definetely Kaylee's idea...
