As production week approaches
I feel nervous and excited that Bullish will be opening in London and at the
CPT! My experience of working on Bullish
has been completely different to any other production I have worked on, no day
in the rehearsal process is ever the same. We have all been working very hard
with developing new material. We just kept trying new things until we found the
right fit…I have discovered what is set, can very much be written again! This is
a true as the message in one of the beautiful songs in Bullish. This is because
the script and the story is constantly evolving, I guess like we are as people.
There have been some really great
discussions in the room and I have truly learnt so much from working with
everyone on the team. There is something really empowering about working with a
LGBTQ cast, and with working with the writer & director L.J Skilbeck.
This will be my first
professional stage debut since I began my transition, which has been a journey
itself! As an actor in the process of transitioning I couldn’t have wished to
work with a better company. I am so thankful. There was a point I thought I had
to pick between my acting career and transitioning; I didn’t realize I could
have both! Milk Presents came in my life at the right time, you could say they
have helped me return home.
For me, Bullish is about
finding yourself and giving yourself permission to be authentic. Authenticity is a beautiful
thing, I think the Come As You Are Festival is a celebration! A celebration of
being different and to being proud of who you are.
Join us, as you are.
We will be at the CPT from the 12th-30th
September. Make sure you watch Bullish! See you beauties there! – Cairo Nevitt Actor
