If the dough fails, you can throw it away and start over. It didn’t matter if things kept going wrong, because we have three great bakers within walking distance. There was no pressure on me at all.”
With the relaxation also came the realization that she was enjoying her work on stage again. Her new performance is coming soon What if premiered. “I have now reached a point where I can say: I think this is fun, do what you want with it. If that means that this performance is not for you, then so be it. An artist does not have to tell you how you thinks the world works, but can take you through two hours in a different perspective. That realization has helped me regain my joy in playing.”
