Career

After high school (Glendowie College), Thomson moved to Christchurch to film the first sections of the troubled American feature called Meet Me in Miami (then titled My Gardener). Since Thomson's contribution, the film has been re-edited, re-written and re-cast. Little of the original feature remains. Although Thomson was discouraged from acting by her experiences, she then returned to her hometown of Auckland to focus on friends and family.

Drawn back to stage, she ended up performing outdoor Shakespeare, as part of The University of Auckland's long-running Summer Shakespeare tradition. She was not a student at this time, but later enrolled to study Film, Television, Media Studies and Theatre Studies. During this time, she filmed her role in Living the Dream, sat on the board of the University Theatre Company and wrote as Theatre Editor for the University's weekly student publication, Craccum.

In 2006, Thomson was chosen to participate in Auckland Theatre company Silo Theatre's new talent project, The Ensemble Project. Along with eleven others (including Barnie Duncan and Bonnie Soper), the participants were prepared for a season of two plays. One of them was an interpretation of 'Tis Pity She's a Whore directed by Michael Hurst, and the other was a company devised piece called Based On Auckland, led by director Oliver Driver. Both works played in the 2008 Auckland Festival.
