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.
