Met Simon Pegg (again)

At 4 I went to Hertford Theatre for my second part in the children's book festival. I was to go into a Biggles Workshop with Simon Pegg. It was only for 10-14 year old so mum had to wait outside which she did with a coffe and a

Book. 

He read us a story about Biggles and then he did a question time and he asked us some questions and I answered lots such as - when was the story set & I answered correctly - he told me I was on fire! 

Had a very quick chat with him after and I asked if he would sign something for me which is a secret and he did which was really kind.

Thank you Simon Pegg from me & someone else too (wink wink)

Catching A Fishy....

On Sunday 24th Nov we drove down to Bexhill on Sea to go to MadFish Headquarters! 

We didn't have to be there til 12 and then  it up with Tillie and some other guys and we met an actor called Bill.

He had been in movies and on tv shows. We did some little exercises together. Soon it was over and i waited for mum. Then I went into a photo room with the photographer Ross. I enjoyed having my pics done and asked him about things like why he uses white circles. I enjoy modelling.

We drove home and I fell asleep in the car. Didn't feel very well and had rash all over my face - not too bad for pics thank goodness.

Ross said that Musical Theatre CDs prefer colour pics and tv acting and films like black and white. 

Horrible Histories - Barmy Britains

At the Garrick Theatre, seats M12&13.

What fun! A flash run through of Britain's barmiest people from history including Henry VIII, Guy Fawkes and General Haig. Jokes, songs and plenty of joining in fun was had!

I was really lucky to join in with a workshop after. To begin with we had to pretend we were splashing magic paint around with our hands and body, then we had auditions for a part in the courtroom and I was first to be picked as the judge. I had to be loud and clear! We pretended that we were in a courtroom in Henry 8ths time.  The ladies running the workshop told mum I had done really well!! 

Had a brilliant day, thanks Mum x

The Barricade Workshop

Today I came into London for a Les Mis workshop thanks to KidsWeek.

There were 26 kids of all ages that met in The Prince of Wales theatre and when our mums left we all went into the bar area and got into groups and had some small activities the funniest bit was acting like a chicken in a microwave!

We performed as if we were fighting for our rights on the barricade and I was chosen as number 1 - so performed first. They gave me direction to look fierce and proud.

I had a really  great time and big thanks to all the people that helped. Here's me with Tom Nicholas

Les Miserables Workshop - Jo Loxton

We were up early today to travel to my agency, Mad Fish, in Bexhill-on-Sea.

I had been really excited to be going back, to see all the other fishes and to have fun in a workshop by Sam Hiller on Les Miserables. 

But! He had broken his toe and so we had a lovely lady called Jo Loxton teach us two of the shows songs, Can You Hear the People Sing and  End of the Day.

I knew the songs already but it was really nice to be singing them with some really awesome people like Emily who has been in Shrek and Sam who has been in Oliver and loads of others including Amy, Olivia, Kitty. The Fishes are really nice people and can sing so well! I was very lucky to be able to perform these songs with these guys.

A huge thank you to mum and dad for driving me there, and to Emma and Sarah for holding the workshop and to Jo for teaching us :-)

Here's a little video of End of The Day... mum loves my (early!) dramatic dive

Dive, dive, dive!  (click the dive)

Jo Hawes Workshop

We drove into London to get to Barnes Green in SW13, it didn't take long and dad only made a few wrong turns!

We arrived in time and met Jo Hawes and some other children we went into a room and got taught some basic rules on how to audition. 

I did my monologue and Jo said to speak a bit louder which I did.

We got into groups of 4 and got a script each we then had 10mins to read through. I was a character called Pippa. I read looking forward and script down which was an excellent hint. 

I had a lovely time and at the end mum bought Jo's book for me and Jo signed it for me. 

Mad Fish Management

On Sunday we left home at 7.30 to drive to Bexhill, when we arrived it was freezing! Went to the brand new home of new agency, Mad Fish. Sarah & Emma were really friendly and I met Sam Hiller too. I met some nice kids and we had fun. I pretended to interview a girl and it was funny!

I said the poem I'd been practising The Ugly Bugs Ball and enjoyed putting actions to it.

I also sang a bit of Rollerblades by Eliza Doolittle but maybe I should have sang one of the songs from Les Mis.

I hope I did ok.

On our way home we got stuck in a traffic jam FOR HOURS!! But we still popped into Costa for a baby chocolate chino & cake :-)
