Liz and I go way back, well almost as way back as I've been an actor in
Wellington. But it feels like longer. We have played sisters once
before, the very first time we met actually, at a workshop. Liz was
awesome then but just wait until you see her in Life. After.
Actress - Liz Kirkman
Liz Kirkman graduated with Honours in
Theatre from VUW in 2002 and has been solidly performing and teaching
since. For the last three years she has been tutoring Movement,
Shakespeare and Acting for Camera on the UCOL Diploma in Performing
Arts. You might remember her from such shows as, Educating Rita, the
touring 2 person, 50 minute versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Othello, A
Bright Room Called Day (Bats) and as Kathryn Beattie in newly released
NZ feature film, Eternity.
Liz says, 'Life.After attracted me for many reasons. Getting the
chance to work with Anita - who I've loved working with in screen acting
classes - was a great coup, but I also couldn't help but be affected by
Adam's striking poster image. It was a great visual container for the
work to grow inside. I was excited about working on something
distinctly female and exploring that relationship, in contrast to the
work being created in a male dominated industry. This has been an
enlightening process exploring the universal issues of grief and loss,
which interest me not only personally and as a performer, but in my
other occupation as a Craniosacral Therapist.'
