Today I attended a great exhibition at the Courtauld Institute, Becoming Picasso, Paris 1901, which looks at one year in Picasso’s output, 1901 when he first came to Paris as an ambitious 19-year-old and proceeded to paint up a storm. The breadth of his work during this period is remarkable. What is interesting about this […]
Cost Should Never Be An Excuse – the $1.99 App used to complete Oscar nominated film!
Check out this video (it starts after the advert at the beginning). It’s interesting because the film maker Malik Bendjelloul discusses how when he was making his documentary film “Searching for Sugar Man” he ran out of money and thought he was going to have to abandon his project because he couldn’t afford to continue shooting […]
How Our Desires Can Blind Us
Photo by poolski This has been a challenging couple of months for me on a professional front. Before Christmas I was offered an acting job (yay!) only to lose it because I couldn’t do the dates they needed me for (boo). Then I was thrilled to get another job offer – for something shiny and […]
7 Ways to Still Be Productive When You Really Can’t be F*cked
I’m having one of those days today where I really just feel like shutting off the computer, fishing out the Love Film DVD’s which have been waiting to be watched, putting on my pj’s, making some tea and flaking on the sofa. A proper slobby day. Isn’t that what we think of actors doing a […]

Fruit Picking and Business Planning –
Start with the low hanging fruit Photo by Effervescing Elephant It’s January and the Christmas bills are starting to come in. Mother Hubbard’s cupboards are feeling a bit bare so as a freelancer it’s always the time of year where I start to worry about drumming up some more work. Sound familiar? My advice is […]
Holiday Greetings
Hello fellow creative entrepreneurs! I must begin by apologising for my silence the past number of months. Life sometimes throws curveballs our way – some good and some bad – and I’ve been batting all kinds of curveballs (mostly good!) for the last six months. This has been the busiest period I’ve had as an […]
Keep the Faith – Believing in Your Abilities
Hello my lovelies, well my show has opened. In fact we’re almost halfway through the short run already. It was a total whirlwind learning this large role in a week and was a good test for me to see if I could actually do it. I’m glad to say that I succeeded in learning everything […]
Life Upon The Wicked Stage
It looks like I am taking to the stage. Like a fish taking to water I am excited to be ‘on the boards’ once again. It’s all come up rather suddenly (like in the past three days) and we open in two weeks’ time. So I have a lot of learning of lines and blocking […]
Creative Balancing Act
For years I have been writing Morning Pages. The concept of Morning Pages comes from The Artists Way by Julia Cameron and involves writing 750 words of free form writing every morning. The idea is that you dump out what’s floating around in your head so that you can then approach your work freely without those […]
