  • Exit- followed by fall

    Acting has always been a part of my life. It’s one of those things that give me energy and drive.

    With that said, it shouldn’t surprise you that I went to college and university to study performing arts.

    Let’s fast forward to my first performance at university.

    Part of our set involved theatre blocks on top of each other. So, I finish a scene and am climbing up to the top block for the next part. However, I didn’t see someone else’s leg sticking out a bit and fell backwards.

    The fall didn’t hurt that much, bumped my head a bit. The stage crew were worried while I was laughing it off.

    After, the teacher asked everyone what had happened- why someone had missed their cue.

    I explained and said “It’s a reminder that I am not the real Buzz Lightyear and I cannot fly. The fall might have knocked some sense into me though.”
