February In Toronto.

Once again, I’ve been far too long in posting. An update.
Took my show,“ This Is Cancer” through more stages than I’d care to count. Two years and counting in the creation and performance of it. PlayRites in Calgary was a HUGE step forward and it's been rolling ever since. Even won an award last summer for it... which was such an honor.
A version in St. Catherine’s, a version for the Toronto Fringe, a version to Vancouver for the Here Be Monsters Carnival of the Arts, a version to Regina and presented by Hectik Theatre, and, lastly, a version to Whitehorse for the Pivot Festival at Nakai Theatre. So – we’ve been all over the country (almost). My fingers are crossed for a BIG East-coast tour – as I have always wanted to see that part of the country… and… they get Cancer, don’t they?
I’ve encountered so many lovely survivors who are wonderfully open to share their experiences and it’s been such a blessing. Crazy show.
In other news, I’ve received my certification in Thai Yoga Massage and have started up my own practice. It’s going rather well. Starting to book more and more clients, and I’m really enjoying the work. If I can’t “heal through humor”, perhaps I can heal through Metta.
Back in Toronto now for a good chunk. Rebecca is in Calgary where she's teaching at the University. Time apart always seems to agree with us, and I'm enjoying the Bachelor life. It means I can watch Jurassic Park EVERY NIGHT of the week.
Yay.
