MONDAY MUSINGS<\/h3>\n

I have been away from Norway for a while. When I arrived, I realized how much I missed working in Oslo. The Drama Days summit was wonderful. \u00a0Interesting panels and most of my local professional colleagues in one place!! \u00a0I did a short lecture on The Emotional Toolbox and the following day a full day workshop.<\/p>\n

I had a great weekend off– well, sort of off. \u00a0I had several project synopsis to read in preparation for one-on-one consultations for the Norwegian Film Institute. \u00a0Excited to meet all the writers. \u00a0Several of the projects have already been commissioned by the NRK (Norway’s equivalent to the BBC).<\/p>\n

Some great drama and comedy shows are coming from the network– I particularly loved Norsemen,\u00a0<\/em>a wacky comedy,\u00a0Valkyrien,\u00a0<\/em>a wonderful medical thriller, and\u00a0Occupied,\u00a0<\/em> a show about the stealth takeover of the Norwegian government by Russia for the oil and gas resources (on TV 2). \u00a0You can catch all of this on Netflix!<\/p>\n

Here is a great video that gives a taste of Oslo:<\/p>\n
