The first day at the workshop weekend was a scene study with a partner, but day two was all about one-on-one with the camera and a Reader. My scene was from “Brothers & Sisters” and I played Abby. I liked that I got to get a lil evil by the end of it! Here check …
So I am a new student at The Second City Training Center here in Toronto. I am finally staring down my fear of doing an improvisation class. “But Adri – you do improv all the time!? You fear it?” To clarify, I do not fear improvisation. I fear improvisation CLASSES. For some reason, and this …
Oh, who, me? Well, I curled my hair for nearly 2 hours… (well my fake hair) I’m very pleased with this first round of hair shaping! It goes well past my hips which isn’t necessary so I need to figure out what I want to do with it. Plus I want to add bulk without …
I am beyond excited to play dress up for Toons on Tap on June 4th at The Rhino as MERIDA! I hope to see you there! I will have my hair extensions, my “brother bears” and of course my bow and arrows 🙂 You can also hire me out to be your Brave friend – I …

The rant: Last night I did something I have never done before: I had my script read by strangers in a public forum. It was a cold-read, which …
Have you ever had a Disney Princess that you adored? For a time – it was Belle. She was the only brown eyed somewhat auburn haired princess I could relate to. She liked books. She was independent and brave. Then came along Merida (from Pixar/Disney’s Brave) and I was OVER THE MOON! A red head …
Learning Through The Arts – it’s something I have always facilitated, but maybe I just didn’t call it that. I have been teaching drama (well Shakespeare first and foremost) to kids since I was a counselor at 14 years old. Now at 30 years old, I am a program developer and facilitator with the City …
So I am a huge nerd about certain things. I also am a closet shy-girl. Yes. Me. Shy. I fan-girl in the most awkward worst way possible. I am terribly shy and self-conscious around people that make the world a better place and make me want to be a better artist and person. One of …
