⛰️🌋🌫 My best friend @artichokez is leaving today to go to @shawfestival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON for the next eight months and I'm so so proud and happy for her, but will miss her very much. I've only known her since 2016 (first photo is from the first time I met her!) but it feels like I've known her for a lifetime. She deserves all the joy and love in the world and I cannot wait to hear about her adventures. Looking forward to (eventually and inevitably) returning from our improv retirement and dancing to Yazoo's Only You with only you. ❤️ Had tickets to see Forgiveness at @theartsclub last night, got a phone call mid-day yesterday, and a few hours later I had my unofficial Arts Club I love these folks so very much - great weekend in Victoria doing Passenger Seat with @thelibrary.performanceco ! They all bring me so much joy. Thank you @intrepidtheatre for having us! I had the pleasure of spending the last six weeks with the stellar team of Forgiveness, which opened at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage this week. It has been an incredible journey shadowing Stafford Arima at the helm, who led the team with so much generosity, grace, and space for creativity and collaboration. I'm incredibly proud of the work everyone has put into this show. Mark Sakamoto (and adapted by Hiro Kanagawa) has written an important piece of history that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. The show is running until Feb 12 in Vancouver before moving to Calgary! Thought mom was joking when she said 25 is the age the human body has peaked and would start doing things for no reasons, but I really learned that this year. Gonna lead by example by sleeping before midnight this new year's eve. Here's to hoping I stop feeling dizzy in 2023. End of week 1 rehearsals as an assistant director for @theartsclub and @theatrecalgary 's co-production of Forgiveness! World premiere of this spectacular script by @hirokanagawatv, adapted from @sakamotomark 's best-selling book. Have learned so much sitting alongside @staffordarima about process and directing. Opens in mid January at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. Baltimore -> Philadelphia -> Jersey/New York locks of brooklyn bridge - a series.
