by andrewkooman on January 15, 2012

I was thrilled to learn last week that She Has A Name was selected to be in the 25th Victoria Fringe Festival, August 25 – September 4, 2012. The tour is becoming more and more real.  It’s an incredible experience, really.  Stepping out on that limb to bring it to life, with an amazing team [...]

Year in Review

by andrewkooman on January 1, 2012

It’s that time again, for a year in review.  I have so much to be thankful for and so much to reflect upon. Click the image below to get a small glimpse of my 2011 (PDF-style). If you have a reflection on your year, please send it my way! Much grace to you in 2012. [...]

1. Give Much Away, Expect Nothing in Return

by andrewkooman on September 14, 2011

In July I started to work away on a new play. I left the world of war-torn Europe (where much of my creative thought had been throughout the winter when I drafted a full length play, an exploration of Nazi occupied Holland during the Second World War).  I moved my imagination behind the Iron Curtain.

Reclaiming Devotion

by andrewkooman on June 29, 2011

My mind has been turning around a word, the way a gymnast turns around the uneven bars or pommel horse, perhaps.  Getting my thoughts around it has been a feat and the meaning is starting to land more firmly the more time I spend with it. The word is devotion. I came to it this [...]

#rtvRD footage, thoughts

by andrewkooman on April 26, 2011

I’m really proud of my team at Raise Their Voice who worked so hard to put together an incredible event. The last number of months have been surreal for me seeing dreams and planning come to reality.  Raise Their Voice: The Trafficked + Exploited, the event I’ve been part of planning over the last few [...]
