Moon Fest UK 2013 in Chinatown, London was INCREDIBLE. I had such a great time hosting the show with my brilliant co- host Bruce Chong. It was so great to meet and work with such amazing performers, crew and celebrate a great Chinese tradition.
Even though the weather was not the best, it didn't matter because everyone's spirits were high and a bit of rain was never going to stop us.
HAPPY MOON FEST EVERYONE!!!

My workshop with Mel Churcher was incredible and so insightful.
During the workshop we worked on different pieces and I had a monologue prepared. When performing it to Mel it was amazing how she knew when my control was not switched off and knew that I was thinking too much.
She thought me to just relax and keep calm; there is no need to rush or think too much. The thinking should be done in the preparation and in learning lines. After having this prep and practice, as an actor I should trust that base I have build in me and let it flow.
I learnt so much in that session and I am so happy to have worked with such a lovely, brilliant and talented acting/ voice coach.
Thank you Mel Churcher :)
This video is a clip from the workshop, the piece is by Elana Gartner called Because of Beth.

WORKSHOPS, DANCE CLASSES AND MORE :)
Have a busy week this week and next.
Went for a meeting last night and some exciting things are planned for the future.
I am hoping to go to an acting workshop next week and start up with going to dance classes in London soon, which will be amazing!
I have shooting this Sunday for the film 'The Fighting Spirit', which I play Lady Lynn. She's a great part to play.
Great things planned for the future :)

BRISTOL OLD VIC THEATRE SCHOOL
I have finished my intensive course at Bristol Old Vic and it was just wonderful to have the opportunity to attend this great theatre school and have brilliant tutors to guide you along the way.
We have received new showreel material (which will be up soon) from the course and I have had some amazing experience both in front and behind the camera.
This was really my first time sitting behind the camera and seeing the action being played out on a monitor. It was so interesting to see the difference of being in front of the camera and watching it as it would be played out on screen.
Seeing it from a directors point of view clarifies why we have to stand in a certain way, or move a prop that looks wrong in shot or walk in a certain direction. The view we get from the screen is very different to the set and scene we see without a lens. For example, while sitting next to a friend in real life there is a known space between each other, we do not intrude this personal space. However, when acting if we sat next to each other as we would in real life; on the screen it looks as if we are distant and the gap in between us seems so vast. That is why, the director constantly tells us to sit closer or be closer together, so that on screen we look as if we actually like each other.
We have to get use to being close around each other and invading each other's personal space.
All in all the course was great and I made some lovely friends. They are all so very talented and creative.
I have learnt such an incredible amount and I shall be putting it all into practice.
I really enjoyed my time there.

NYC
So I have been away for a while!
I went to NYC and it was completely amazing, I loved it so much.
While I was there I was lucky enough to attend a class at Broadway Dance Centre taught by Cecilia Martha.
It was so nice to back dancing and attending classes. The class was great, I learnt so much in just an 1hr 30mins. I decided while away I will be attending more dance classes and acting workshops when I was back in the UK.
LET THE HARD WORK BEGIN!!!
