Hey all.
This is not directed at everyone, obviously, but as I don't know who's been rumourmongering about me (only that it's been happening) I'm posting this here. I'm not making blanket statements about anyone, just communicating a message.
If you think I have been unprofessional, lewd or inappropriate in the street or backstage this year, you are incorrect and have either jumped to conclusions or believed something someone else told you. I have done nothing of the sort. I am well known as a consummate professional in SAPA who does not break character in the street, does not seek to make patrons uncomfortable and does not do anything in the street just to get my own jollies. Yes, I am playing a period gay character, but that's only one aspect of Exeter and one most average joe-type patrons never see unless they watch afternoon Court Dance or Pub Sing. As I've said a thousand times before, I am not doing what I'm doing for political reasons or to hunt and prowl, but as a way to present an interesting and much forgotten aspect of our period and as a way to reach out to our gay audience and include them in all the fun.
If this does not apply to you, please feel free to disregard. Love ya. :~)
Love,
~~Kangi Tanka~~
