I’m short, obsessed to Doctor Who
and addicted to game shows...my full name is Madelaine Moynes Keshen but you
can call me Maddie. I enjoy Drama and have been in a couple of plays including
Holmes and Watson were I played I played Finchy, a lonely street boy who helps
Holmes in his mission. I recently have gotten into the play The Lost Prince
were I will be playing Winnie (the female lead).
Another fun fact about me is I’m
originally from Ottawa Ontario.I had
lived the same house, on the same lane with the same childhood friend since two
years ago until I moved to Calgary. I really like it here, it has the beautiful
mountains and much more theater then Ottawa but I do miss the docks. I remember
when I was still in my young youth my mother; father and younger brother would
take a picnic and watch the boats came in and out.
I’m also a huge fan of Greek/ Roman
mythology. When I was ten or eleven I picked up a popular book series Percy Jackson and the Olympians after
seeing the movie in theaters. Realizing that the movie sucked and book was my new
god I never put it down reading it everywhere I went. After finishing all the
books three times over I had craving to dive deeper into the world of gods, mentors
and Satyrs. I Dove into the sea of stories like Echo the nymph who had only her
voice after being cursed by Hera/Juno to repeat what people have said or Apollo
and Hyacinth the beautiful young Spartan whom Apollo loved so much that he neglected
his duties, this use to be an entire religion to an old civilization and I was
addicted. The interest grew
even more; I read tonnes of Greek mythology books. These stories are not for the
faint of heart though as some could be quite violent. The great thing about Greek myths is that
they are interesting stories, with realistic characters. Even after the fall of
Rome and 2000 years later there are still themes, emotions and motivations we
can understand to this very day.
On another note I like to believe I am a writer and or story teller. I have wrote for the newspaper once in Ottawa
with a friend about Indigenous right, I love to write it’s like I can go anywhere
with just moving my fingers or when you write something a character said but
you didn’t think about it making the character come truly alive.It’s a way to express inner feelings in a
story or prove a point.
Lastly I collect movies, T.V shows and books. I’m basically a stereotypical
teen girl addicted to pop culture and social media. I’m also one of those wired
people who liked the ads more than the show at times. On the subject of shows
again my favorite ones in order are Doctor Who, Sherlock, family feud and America’s
next top model (yes I know sad). My favorite books are Lord of the flies,
interview with the vampire; We Need to Talk about Kevin, young Sherlock Holmes, and Beloved, Lolita,
brave new world and the fault in are stars. My favorite movies are all the
hobbit movies, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissor hands, pirates
of the Caribbean and Hunch back of Notre dame. I find it amazing that directors
and writers can provoke such emotion through words and actions, I wish one day that
no matter what I do I can create something just as beautiful.
That pretty much something me up
in a nut shell, I hope this was a good over view of me.
