We all have a story to tell. Some stories are filled with drama and adventure, others are filled with tears and heart ache. I am not sure how my story will affect you, but my hope is it will. This is my first blog, an intro if you will, to follow my journey as an artist. I will share past stories, life lessons, future ambitions; I know you will laugh, cry and be inspired. So here is a bit about me... My name is Kristy Deforge; I am a 21 year old Canadian actress, but I would more generally see myself as a performing artist. I recently trained in film, TV and theatre acting in Toronto for two years and have just moved back home to the country for a few months to do a theatre internship with a new theatre company called Debaj... Here is where I could go on and on listing all my passions, goals and dreams, which I will share with you, but I would like to do it more intimately if you’ll join me. Why am I writing a blog? This blog was inspired because today I realized that as a performing artist I need people to keep me going; what are stories if there is no one to listen; what is art if there is no one to see. I often find myself alone in my talent and simply wish to share it with others as much as possible and hopefully come to know some of your stories as well. Whether you are into performing arts, academics or a curious audience, I offer you my words. Hopefully this tiny piece of the puzzle will leave you craving the whole picture; you won’t be waiting long... Just long enough so that I can organize my thoughts and decide where to begin. Welcome inside the life of a performing artist.
