Theater People.

Sooo many theaters people, so many stages and actually so much fun. I like meeting new people and I even more like to get along with them. I went to see a good amount of theaters yesterday and I met a good amount of good people, and I found my space. The guy we're renting it out with is great and the space lovely. I'm signing today. It's weird to grow up, isn't it. Well, at least I'm growing up into a nice, creative world.
Although I learned one thing: 'Never trust someone who's name's Tiffany'

Hair

I like examplays and I like the fact that I will have an amazing period costume with 8 inch heels and I like that they're going to make me a hair thingy, so that it will look like I have long hair.
The one thing that I don't like is that I will have to let my hair grow out. Damn. No more bangs, no more edgy styily, but period. Of course. Well the man will look funny, all half long hair and beards. Filip already has longer hair than I do (I think that's the reason why they have me let my hair grow out - no I know it's the period, but still, it looks funny when your opposite other has longer hair then you)
I think we're the only show who's currently worried about having long hair. Nick has to cut his, Rob already did... All those people with now short hair, it's almost sad.
But yea, I think that was it.

Producing

Many of you know, that usually, if offered a Producing Job, I would probably turn it down. All the people, all the stress, all the venues, money, cast, all those things... Well, now - I'm producing. The fringe got me into this and I turned into the crazy phone lady who believes she seriousely needs an assistant haha.
The thing is, I lost my dayplaner, so my brain is my dayplaner, and I'm actually surprised how good that works - well at least up to now.

Went to watch Mama Mia! tonight. Free tickets YEY! I like life. The book of mormon is coming into town too, and so is Jekyll and Hyde. Seems like there's going to be a lot of Musical Nights for me coming up.
Saturday my book is coming: 'Wahlverwandsaften' - Göthe. You have to read Göthe in german, there is no other way. Really.
Something else concerning my play: Seems like we'll have to recast a couple of people. The Fringe is going up 14-24 of June, now, we were already looking at a new lead and now Tessa might not be able to make the performances, because she's moving to Australia at the 20th of June. - See that was what I was talking about: Producing. Although, I would have to deal with that Directing as well.
I'm loving this. But then again, I will produce once, maybe again, but for now once. At least I actually am learning a lot. - Thank you Mr. Martin.
Good night

Fringe Festival.

Venues, Subscriptions, Phone calls, E-Mails - I guess I'm acting as a producer now. But like Mr. Martin puts it: Everything you do will help you grow - if you don't do it yourself it never gets done.
And that's where I'm at now. Time is putting me under presure - 4 more days till I have to have a venue. It's insane, but insanity is what keeps us going, right? Yea.
That's it.

Wherever Home is...

I was flying home. So many homes. New York, the home of my heart, LA, everything. So many homes, so much flying... Switzerland during Christmas. I hope. I will never give up hope. "Home is where your heart is"

Palm trees instead of skyscrapers, far away traffic instead of sirens, I miss New York, but I can be happy here, for a little while longer. Amazing people and 5 weeks left of school, we need to enjoy life as long as we're living it.

Aiport charmes

We all travel, we all leave homes, visit places, make memories, loose friends, visit family, experiance crazyness and so forth. Airports are the places where all these people come together. I believe that beauty lies in truth. this was out of context, but that's what I believe.
I'm leaving NY. It feels like leaving home. I took the Robert Kennedy Bridge, the one that allowes you to see the skyline. I believe that now I have crossed every biidge into nd leaving Manhattan. I still don't want to leave, not gonna lie, but I will be back. once you find where your heart lies you can't deny it.

A true American.

I've been really American today. REALLY American. I ate only in Diners, and I visited the capitol: D.C. It's a pretty place. The white house is really small, but I think it's the only place in the US which actually has history.
But I missed NY. The most terrible thing for a girl who lost her heart in New York is to be in a train to Manhattan, looking out the window seeing the skyline, but not moving - meaning being stuck in New Jersey. NOT fun. But I made it back into the city. Now I have exactly 16 hours left. I really don't want to leave. This city gets me every time and every time I think it will be easier to leave, but actually it gets harder. What am I doing to myself. I belong in this city.
Well, nothing to change about that right now. 16 more hours of love and happiness, and then I'll fly back to LA to start rehearsals for gradplays. And then I'll be done. Let's see how long it takes till I cannot stand being apart from the city...

New Yorker by heart.

Being back makes me never want to leave again. Never. All the random, tinniest things that make me want to stay here sooo bad.
Things I missed about New York:

1. The Subway (you are everywhere within the shortest amount of time)
2. Crowded places (people watching is fantastic)
3. Parks (Washington Square, Union Square, Central Park, all the Parks)
4. Street Artists (there everywhere - EVERYWHERE)
5. Traffic Rules (or the fact that there are none - you just walk)
6. The Lower East Side (for the artsy and beautifulness it's got, all the bars and the corners)
7. Greenwich (beauty, life and music)
8. even freaking Chinatown, although Asian People still scare me, but I didn't get mugged YEY
9. Midtown (although I still don't like tourists)
10. Upper West Side - actually I didn't really miss the UWS, I just discovered it coming back here.
11. Fire escapes 
12. The sound of the sirens
13. The beauty of spring (it never shows as beautiful in LA, LA is full of streets, NY is too, but it's full of trees too, blooming all over the place)
14. Yellow Cabs
15. Conversations about movies (in LA, it's practically expected from you that you are an actor, in NY, there are so many different people and to tell someone here that you're into filmmaking actually makes them listen and appreciate - it's a whole different world)
16. Delis 
17. Traffic! (yea, my cabdriver thought I was crazy)
18. The bridges. (I don't have to say anything about that.)
19. The weather (it is sunny, then it rains and it is never stable)
20. The friendliness 
21. The NY way to walk (you're a tourist if you take up the whole crosswalk, remember that)
22. Street Hot Dog Stands (nowhere they're as good as here)
23. People READING!
24. Constant use of smartphones
25. The honking
26. Random people coming up to you having conversations (like: "Did you know that there have been studies which say that we spend 12 % of our lives thinking about things we'll never actually do")
27. NYU students.
28. Brooklyn 
29. Williamsburg
30. Queens
31. The lights.
32. High High HIGH buildings (never ever forget to touch the sky)
33. Basically everything

And that's just the beginning, I could go on, but then I would wast time in front of a computer that I could spend in the city, so I'm gonna stop now. I'll need to take a nap, since I just slept for like 3 hours last night. But now everything is good. I'm staying with Natalie in Midtown (thank you my pretty thing).  I really want to go up west again. Let's see if I'll make it to Washington tomorrow or if I'm too much in love with this city (I'm too much in love with it anyway, but let's see if I can get myself to see another beautiful city as well) Apparently it's rainy tomorrow anyway. 

This city makes me want to read and create and never stop moving. It makes me want to talk and spread my thoughts, think about the world and it's possibilities. It's crazy. But looking up one tall building I will always remember that we can never give up trying to touch the sky. One day we'll have everything laying on our feet. 

Enjoy your day, wherever you are.

Lots of love

xoxo

Spring Break and other stories.

I haven't written in  while, well, my internet died. right now I'm in a cab to LAX: NY I'm coming. I missed the city soooo bad, now I'm going back. my bunny's with Nick - let's hop that he doesn't kill her haha, no they'll get along, his apartment is still empty and she can hide in the boxes. 

Last week has been crazy: first the reading of my play (which went REALLY well - my cast was wonderfull) the following day One Person Show. all done. now we're off, for a couple of days before starting exam plays. it's all coing to an end. soon my mam is cming yey and now I'm gna take a break and refill my tank in the only true city in this world. how can people not be in love with NY? well, definitely am. plus I'm gonna spend one day in D.C. 

Now I'm going to pay attention to the crazy cab driver and soon I'll be asleep on a plane YEY. 

Enjoy the begining of spring. see you soon.

One Person Shows.

Those guys are crazy, you gotta love 'em...

VIVID.

Holy Fuck - Daylight Saving.

Yey! Weekend! Except for the part: I have to work tomorrow night (just for half an hour though) and I will have to be at a rehearsal Sunday at 10 AM, which is 9 AM in my life because I will just ignore the Daylight saving. Daylight saving, really? Right before the most important week? Na, it should be fine. 9 AM. I hope my cast will be getting up. And if not, I'll kick Nicks door in (good thing he's just living two floors on top of me). Tomorrow, I'll have to get everything for my Make up final. I'll be a bird - yey.
Lot's of love and have a lovely night.

Being sick sucks.

I know I've been posting like a crazy person for the last hour, but even though I should be sleeping because I'm sick (not because people need sleep, no....), I'm still up at 2 AM in the morning, and still my laundry is not folded, but I've been working up to now, I just don't remember what I did. This is bad. I should go to sleep.
Goodnight.

Playwright.

So, otherwise I will never do this, but I have to get used to it, it still feels weird and I am not sure how much I agree on this, but apparently I am a playwright now.
We're rehearsing daly for the reading, which is either next week, or right after spring break. And apparently this is actually something. It is so weird, everyone at school is talking about it, everyone is showing up and next week we're actually getting publicity on it. Plus, it's already heading over to New York. I don't quiet know what's happening. When did this happen? How did this happen? What happened? A Downtown Theatre Company now asked me if I'd like to write another play they would put up in October that I would actually get the change to direct. I am overwhelmed. I am, and I don't know what to do.
My cast is wonderful. Literally wonderful, you don't know how amazing those people are, I'm falling in love with them every day. I am blessed. And apparently I will have to get used to this: I am a playwright.
Goodnight.

How to look like a stripper (in less then a minute)

Today I had camera and in Camera I have a scene where I am a stripper. Nice. Now. I had exactly 3 minutes to change out of a normal outfit (I like Hollywood, but I'm not going to run around naked here.) into something that made me look like a stripper. Now here's how you do it:

• You were nude colored tights
• Tinny black shorts
• Overknee boots and
• A corset

You have a stripper outfit. To make it daytime wearable, you add:

• A skirt
• A jacket
• A scarf

And that's about it. Haha. PS: Make up helps.

Du bleibst.

Ich nehm dich nochmal in den Arm und lass es zu
Ganz egal wohin du gehst und was du tust
Du bleibst.

Wir waren beide noch jung,

Mussten das Lieben erst lernen.

Wir haben uns selten gestritten, war wie der Frieden auf Erden.

So passend, dass ich jetzt den Atem verlier'.

Ich dank dir für die Serie wunderbarer Jahre mit dir.

Du hattest immer die Idee, ich meine gibst sie nicht auf.

Du willst mehr von der Welt seh'n, leb' deinen Traum.

Ich wach auf mit schweren Herzen und hör dich beim Duschen sing'n.

Und ich will nicht der sein der dich zum Flughafen bringt,

Ich seh‘ wie sich andre umarmen in der Schlange am Check-in

Die Anzeigetafel, dein Flug, die Buchstaben wechseln.

Menschen die hetzen, die wie du alle bald weg sind,

Ich bleibe allein und versuche zu lächeln.

Ich nehm dich nochmal in den Arm und lass es zu.

Ganz egal wohin du gehst und was du tust,

Du bleibst. Du bleibst.

Nimm mich nochmal in den Arm und mach es so.

Ganz egal wohin du gehst ich lass es zu,

Und bleib.

Ich versuch die Distanz zu überwinden indem ich dir schreib.

Egal Telefon, Sms, Facebook, E-mail und Skype

Fernbeziehung ist der ewige Flot.

Man wird umso mehr verrückt je weniger man von dem anderen hört.

Es ist verzwickt, denn ich weiß nicht wo du bist.

Hab dich verloren an irgendwen, weiß nicht mal ob es ihn gibt.

Du unterwegs, ne schöne Frau im anderen Land,

Verdräng die Gedanken, das Bild, du und ein anderer Mann.

Vielleicht übertreib ich auch nur, alles gar nicht lang her,

Dass ich dir unterstell dass du gerade zweigleisig fährst.

Ich lenk mich ab und räum mein Zimmer um

Und stolper dabei über tausend Erinnerungen.

Ich nehm dich nochmal in den Arm und lass es zu.
Ganz egal wohin du gehst und was du tust,

Du bleibst. Du bleibst.

Nimm mich nochmal in den Arm und mach es so.

Ganz egal wohin du gehst ich lass es zu

Und bleib, Und bleib.

Dort wo wir uns einig waren,

Fangen andere sich zu streiten an.

Bei uns steht zwischen einer Zeile mehr,

Als man in einem Buch schreiben kann.

Ich kann das nicht genau erklären,

Doch weiß wenn das nicht mehr wär,

Setz ich mich hin und schreib nen Song:

Diesmal "vergessen ist so schwer"

Ich nehm dich nochmal in den Arm und lass es zu.
Ganz egal wohin du gehst und was du tust,
Du bleibst. Du bleibst.
Nimm mich nochmal in den Arm und mach es so.
Ganz egal wohin du gehst ich lass es zu
Und bleib, Und bleib.

Du Bleibst - Clueso.

Editing?

I have a three hour break and I thought - no problem, I'll edit. Now, the plan was good - reality not so much. I'm still waiting on Final Cut and iMovie proves to be a pain. For an hour now I'm waiting on everything to upload. Now it's down to like 30 minutes, but I have only 1.5 hours left of my break and I'll go into shooting right after (yey! Striper!). Now, seems like he'll have to wait a little longer then I've expected. Naa. We're still in deadline.

So mag ich das Ende meines Tages. Auch wenn Skype böse war. Wir werdens hauen und das nächste mal kommt alles besser. Wäsche bleibt ungefaltet - für heut. Liebe liebe liebe

Notice please.

So today, Musical Royalty had a speaking at my school today. Sounds amazing right? Well, I couldn't go. Why? Because, if my school sucks at one thing it is giving students notice. Somehow they seem to take for granted that the students have nothing else to do then going to school and just assume that everyone has time during a one hour lunch break. Well, I didn't. One teacher even had the nerve to give me a talk. Sometimes... I would have loved to talk to some people in the business, but rent doesn't pay itself and the OPT meetings are hard to get anyways. 24 hour notice and I could possibly have made time, but nooo. Never mind.
I edited my one person show down to 12 minutes. I'm proud of myself. It has a new now: "A trail of man (the Bohemian Ideal)" I halfway cleaned my apartment and now I'm doing laundry. I have to edit Phillips reel till tomorrow and pick out the takes for Vances thing. Short night again I guess, but that's okay. Tomorrow I'll book New York. It's time I get back there. And since D.C. is just like a train ride away, I'll probably visit Annie during Spring Break as well. Hach, life's something beautiful, isn't it?
See you soon lovely people. I'm gonna change laundry now.

Kuckuck and good night.

The Piano Bar.

I've learned something: Working is good, getting out when you're not working is awesome.
Paige demanded that we have a drink together after the first reading of my play on Thursday (which was amazing, I'm still shivering just thinking of it.) So we went to the Piano Bar, probably the most european place in LA. Not for long, just for a Baylis. Then yesterday, we finally went to see "This means war" (ahhhh Tom Hardy) and since we got into an early showing we decided afterwards: "Ah, let's go to the piano bar". It is an amazing place, and it's just around the corner from where I live. Live music every night, varying from Jazz to Rock to Pop to everything. We also met the owner and made friends with the bouncer. Lovely people. And now I will go to sleep, because I have a shoot tomorrow at 11.
Have fun lovely people
xoxo
