Theatre du Pif & Elsie Tu

Last night I auditioned for a production that will be created by Theatre du Pif. They are my favourite theatre company in HK. They are movement-based and multi-lingual and build their work from primary sources. I don't have acting experience (besides the everyday kind), so I don't know if I'd cast myself. But I love their style and I knew an audition would be great in itself. It was. And I liked the improvised thing I did more that the one i practised a lot. I improvised something based on the life of Elsie Tu. I hadn't heard of her but now I have. Her documents are online at HKBU. She's responsible for the ICAC. I talked to Dad today, who said she was in LegCo when he moved here. He said 'she's a professional thorn in the side of HK Government'. Brilliant. I'd like to be a thorn if it in no way inconvenienced my lifestyle.
