I'm terribly sorry, I've pretty much not been blogging for the past few months and the guilt of not working on it has overwhelmed me to the point that I HAD to say something.
A lot has happened. It has been a busy few months. My contract as a "Apprentice Theatre Practitioner" with Solar Bear and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has come to an end. For which I am sad about but at the same time, I'm excited. Of course, there is still some work to be done with Solar Bear but the title that I once had (especially the fact that this was my first ever job!). I'd like to thank Solar Bear for taking me under their wing and be a part of their journey. I've discovered a lot about myself and realised how much I am in the right path of becoming a Theatre Maker/Facilitator. I've done other things as well, I've been helping out with the RCS on developing the new course for Deaf Practitioners and I'm excited by the process that's going on. And I'm even excited to be a part of it. Even I was on the prospectus.
This is the information on the new course, BA Performance in BSL/English (working title):

I'm excited about this year ahead. I'm a Freelancer. I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead and I'm going to do the best I can. I'm going to work hard, applying for some courses in the RCS and some colleges. I'm so excited for what will happen. I'm hoping to see all the people I've met during my time as the Apprentice and hopefully work with them. That would be amazing.
It sounds like I'm begging for a job through the blog. I'm not. Seriously. I'm not. I'm not desperate. Aye.
I've been an Amigo at the Youth Theatre Arts Scotland, which was a fantastic experience. I miss the gang. AMIGOS OF THE WORLD, UNITE. Cocktails soon? I've been filming with Solar Bear for 3 weeks. It's called "The Lovers", which is the working title. I'm played the role of Dex, the leader of the Southern Wolves and it's based on Romeo and Juliet. I've done a week course with Ramesh at the RCS, where we took a script and turned it into a piece with no words. That was just great fun. I had a busy summer. And now it's almost autumn, I hope it's another busy few months...
I'm doing a show at the Tramway this Thursday, come along to it! It's with Deaf Youth Theatre and we're doing a snippet from the show we did last year called "The Birthday of the Infanta". I've been described as a "beautiful tree", so don't miss out!! More information:

It would be nice to see some familiar faces in the audience!
Sorry for a boring blog, I'm not feeling inspired. I'm going to do more short courses at the RCS, get back into Aerial and look for some work.
Hopefully, I'll find something inspiring for me to blog! As soon as possible. Hopefully. I'm pretty crap at titles. I have no idea what to call it. Let's call it... Inspiration? A reference to "Funk'n'Love"? INSPIRATION. Yup.
