Wednesday, August 18, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon LUND: Improv acting and writing among Lund9s interests Continued from page 12 said. <Everybody is having such a hard time finding staff for all kinds of jobs. But we got some really good candi- dates. I was very happy to see that Angela had applied. I really enjoyed working with her as a freelancer and I knew she9d be a great fit. She9s so good with the public, and she can multitask under pres- sure, which is critical to that position.= Working with the public comes naturally to Lund, who says she loves meet- ing people and hearing their stories. And the newspaper business always offers some- thing new. Lund9s interest in people makes her a natural writer, and she says she enjoys jour- nalistic writing, which seems like a <manageable= form of creativity. <The idea of writing a novel or something is daunt- ing,= she said. Cornelius is looking for- ward to contributions from Lund. <There9s a pretty steep learning curve for her job, so I9m going to let her settle in and wait 8patiently9 to turn her loose on some stories,= he said. Writing is only one of Lund9s creative outlets. She9s well known in Sisters for her participation in local theater. She wasn9t always an actor. She got involved in improv theater in 2004 and <that really sparked my inter- est,= she said. The freedom of the form was appealing. Improv is based entirely on improvi- sation 4 there9s no scripted dialogue and minimal or no stage direction. Actors are literally making it up as they go along, which is the magic of the form. <Thinking on your feet; there9s no mistakes,= she said. <We create this crazy story and I just love that.= Lund could not have pre- dicted the course of her own story when she first came to town, but 23 years down the line, it seems that it has been a good one. <The community and the friends I9ve made have just been such a blessing,= she said. Thinking on your feet; there’s no mistakes. We create this crazy story and I just love that. — Angela Lund (speaking about improv) Left to right: Angela Lund (Classifi eds & Circulation), Kit Tosello (Proofreader), Jess Draper (Creative Director), Jim Cornelius (Editor in Chief), Leith Easterling (Production Manager), Vicki Curlett (Community Marketing Partner).
