Hi Craig. I'm an actor/producer and one of my favorite CD/teachers is in Melbourne. Hope the fires didn't cause to much difficulty for you. If you ever need a guy with my vibe, happy to collaborate.

Tasha Lewis

Welcome! My prayers are with the people impacted by fires.

Craig Walker

Hey Pamela, A Night of Horror International Film Festival :) . Hi William, I'm based in Sydney so thankfully no personal concerns, though one of my parents was threatened on a major firefront for a while. Thanks for the thoughts, Tasha :) - many were impacted but recovery is starting.

William Bloomfield

Good, but sorry to hear about your parent. Hopefully, events like that won't be the next phase of life for anyone!

I wrote a short story called "The Samsara Soul" last year. How curious.

Hi, I'm not great with the tech. I use WhatsApp but can't seem to add you. Invite me and that should work: 1-781-608-0851. Thanks.

CK Barlow

Wow, Simpa. That's incredible. As William said, you are providing a much-needed and valuable service, and I wish you all the best. I've been to Africa 3x – twice to Uganda and once to Egypt – but I've never been to the West.

Appreciation for stage 32

I haven't been very engaged in social media and business and industry-focused websites, but I've seen enough of most of them to realize how genuinely unique, empowering, and on-target Stage 32 is.

Would you let your teenager work with a 13 and 14 year old?

Connor Sale

Thanks Paul! So should I show some of my previous work? Also when you say professional do you mean looking professional with lights and boom mics, or call sheets and having a production schedule and respecting the parent's time?

Paul Sumares

Whether to show your previous work depends upon how good you feel it is, and what level of skill you are hoping to attract (to work with you). There is no formula, because for instance some highly ski...
