Rae Hendrie - Actor
Rae is an actor and can be seen on Monarch of the Glen. Rae is from Selkirk, Tweed Valley, where she was a Brownie and Guide."Believe in yourself, follow your dream. Be passionate about what you are doing."
Grid Iron. They are a really great company - their work is always interesting, diverse and heartfelt. I did some work with the Director at drama school - a play and workshops and love it. They did Becky does a Bronco and it was brilliant - it won quite a few awards including the Scotsman Fringe First.
My experience working on Monarch of the Glen - it was a really fantastic experience, so I will probably bore them with tales and tapes of that!
Believe in yourself, follow your dream. Also be passionate about what you are doing. I think people recognise that.
All actors have to choose a speech for their auditions at drama school. I chose something from
the brilliantly written play by David Harrower called Knives In Hens. It's about the
development and enlightenment of a young woman set about 300 years ago in a rural community.
I am really lucky that years later I was able to play the lead in that play at The Royal Exchange
in Manchester. There are only three people in the play and I was on stage for almost the entire
1 ½ hours. It was a genuine pleasure to do - an amazing play in a beautiful theatre.
I did the Baden Powell Challenge Award, which is a lot of hard work but really rewarding. I'm also not a natural leader so it did challenge and develop my leadership skills. Looking back now I have no idea how I did it but it am really proud that I did.
Everything changes. So if you are stressed out or anxious about a situation - try not to be because things do move on and change. You never know what's around the corner…
I've had the opportunity to work with immigrant children and some of their stories are so horrible of what they have hone through and the difficulties they have setting here - so it would be someone like Save the Children.
Green and Blacks chocolate ice cream!!
A dog - because I'm loyal and fun!
