Well good holy lord, I have been so busy that a) my brains are falling out my ears and b) I haven't had a spare moment to update since... *checks blog*... July 4th... oh dear.
Okay, film-wise... I now have copies of 'Orpheus', 'Bleeding Love', 'No Justice' and 'Tonight's Special in my hot little hands so as soon as I have a spare minute to edit, my showreel will emerge... as well as that, I can take a few stills from the videos and show you some photos up here.
In the end, I didn't get anything out of my audition for 'Your Highness', but Caroline Cassidy from my agency did, so that's some good news at least. Another casting director who might consider us in future! Paul Burke of Whiplash has been working on the movie though so I've been hearing cool things.
And speaking of Whiplash, I've been very, very busy working towards our latest show in the Absolut Dublin Fringe Festival. This year we're staging SPARTACUS: HIGHWAY TO HELL. It's been a lot of work organising and planning and unfortunately fundraising as cut backs have resulted in us having to come up with a substantial amount of money at the last minute, at that's with none of us getting paid a cent to do this and a cast of THIRTY FIVE! But we've been working hard and we're hopefully getting there! I've been working like a demon on the production end, as well as earning myself a part in it with all the rehearsal that entails, as well as day job and couple of harrowing personal issues this week, so you can imagine how knackered I already am! It pays off though, you get to participate in excellent theatre and that's its own reward. This show I'll be playing Flavia a gladiator and lover to Spartacus!
We had a photo shoot a few weeks back for the purpose of getting some promotional shots up and going for the Fringe Festival Program, as well as our own so here's a couple of the ones of me that I don't feel so cringey looking at!
This is just one of the shots we took on the day. Nothing more fun than playing with a whip! I look like a californian dominatrix... although slightly more rubenesque than your typical sylph-like cali girl.
Hmmmm.... fake weaponry and and a boiling, cloudy sky.... portentuous?
So basically, 13th September at 9pm at the Civic Offices Amphitheatre off Fishamble Street, a one-off show you DO NOT want to miss, Spartacus: Highway to Hell. Come and see us and revel in the madness! Afterall, it's FREE!
Enjoy xxx
