Working as supporting actress helped me to discover my comedian side used to fight with success stress and anxiety after an abusive relationship.
In my 50s i had to think how to recreate myself in a foreign country far from my Italian family living in a huge city like London trying no to be negative as an empty glass , angry and sick of the life .
But it was surprising to discover the strength of my mind and body when I needed them more .
After a few days spent in my new loft of London , I put down a list of projects and goals i had to reach in less than six months .
I was not sure of that but i tried my best .
After my normal job in the capital , i spent hours until late in the night to paint abstract artworks to relieve my stress and looking for a new city to live slightly smaller than London where i could meet more friends and have an easier life .
But i needed to meet also positive people after three years spent with a man shouting to me every time he could .
So i decided to concentrate myself also with another passion i discovered to have in my previous years in London.
Acting !
I decided to rejoin casting agencies , change the colour of my hair , renew my wardrobe and add again make up on my face .
I organised a couple of photoshoots with friends whith the passion of photography to renew my portfolio .
As soon as i sent these pics to the agencies, they started to call me for films and commercials in the capital . I was also published on a few magazines for my articles .
It was surprising because the nasty ex for three years had taken all my confidence , sensuality and beauty repeating quite often I was too old to be a serious artist and enjoy the life.
Some problems with my memory .
My memory unfortunately had been damaged for all the stress connected to the emotional abuses and when i tried an experience in a theatre of Bristol , I had to give up because i could not remember the words .
But i did not despair and carried on to work as supporting actress and lately doing videos for Tiktok or Youtube has helped me to find my comedian side .
Now my friends call me sometimes rubber face for the ability to do funny faces , my sense of humour and jokes.
I like making people laugh and my comic side defeated for ever the negativity of a life based on stress and anxiety.
When i moved from Bristol to Newcastle upon tyne i was not sure there were acting projects around but instead the city keeps me incredibly busy .
