We have started a new Fill in the Blanks series, which will introduce Record readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, "filling in the blanks" to let us know about themselves.
This week, we feature Andie Lloyd.
1. I am a teenage Canadian girl living in New Westminster, but also a painter, musician, stage manager, activist, (2014 Hyack Ambassador) Princess and aspiring rockstar.
2. I spend my time playing or listening to music, hanging out with my awesome friends, and keeping busy in the local theatre community.
3. Right now I am working on becoming a swimming teacher and lifeguard, and organizing activities for the students at the 2014 NWSS Summer Band Camp.
4. The book on my bedside table right now is Diarios De Motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries) by Che Guvera.
5. Three songs you'll find on my IPod playlist are The Waiting by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Spadina Bus by The Shuffle Demons and B.C. Orienteering by Said The Whale.
6. One work of art that inspires me is a small painting of the Massey Theatre by Omanie Elias, because she was able to capture the pure, indescribable magic of the theatre in a way only an artist could.
7. One artist who inspires me is Kelly Proznick, my choir teacher, because when she is faced with adversity, she is strong and confident. She is an inspiration to all of her students and is a loving, supportive and energetic woman. She is the kind of person I one day hope to become.
8. My idea of a perfect day is one that starts early with music, ends late in the theatre, and is staggered with good food, classes or adventures with my friends, and beautiful weather (ideal for late-night stargazing).
9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is (vegetarian) butter chicken with bottled root beer and black cherry ice cream.
10. My guilty pleasure is sleeping in past 9 a.m.
11. My favourite vacation spot is Quadra Island, B.C. My family owns a little yellow house overlooking the ocean.
12. My favourite thing about New Westminster is the Massey Theatre and the NWSS arts department.
13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose John Green.
14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose New York City in the 1940s (jazz music!).
15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be time travel.
And finally ...
16. If people want to find out more about me, they can follow me on Instagram @thosedamntorpedoes, check out The Hyack Festival Association events, or any future NWSS productions!
