This trip is made possible thanks to the Ian Potter Cultural Trust, a wonderful organisation which supports early career artists to pursue professional development opportunities, usually overseas. During my time here I shall be posting about some of my learnings in my private sessions with Gary Austin and Michael Pollock respectively. Already this trip has surpassed my expectations. The latest twist, discovered in my first session of private training with Gary Austin, is the

Wow. Just, wow. Had such a beautiful time tonight, I really wanna write more when it’s not almost 2 in the morning and I am not still crazy and buzzing. But in short, lovely crowd, I enjoyed myself hugely and I think it went pretty well. Will have photos soon too so will pop some up! In the meantime, here are a few random shots from my day. P.S. Just want to say a huge (and by that I mean “very, very large) thank you to each of you who have taken the time to wish me luck, enc

Huzzah! So exciting – after our wonderful, gumbally launch last November, (if you haven’t seen the video you can check it out here) we’re finally back again.

OH MY WORD. I don’t even know where to start, so I’m instead opting for my go-to choice when I’m otherwise stumped: making a list. In no particular order… My Top 10 Things from this year’s Woodford 1. Katzenjammer. This Norwegian, all-girl band, resplendant with their amazing costumes and musical chairs style instrument swapping brought in the new year in the wonderful Parlour (my FAVE venue ever – aside from the on-site child-minding) and my heavens, they were so ridiculousl

At the After-Party: me with the always-fabooshy fairy Mary and hubby Fritz! Forgive me for taking a few days to recover from the insanity that was the lead-up to and happening of the Gumball Theatre launch. Phew! Seriously, at some point there it hit me that the only time I’ve put more effort into something was my wedding. However the one thing about my wedding that disappointed, was how because I’d spent so much time, thought and effort on planning the whole shebang, when it

A bit more of my Halloween costume. I think I was a pirate Mummy. Huzzah! My innards are back in their proper place and thus able to just get that little bit fluttery excited to celebrate my inclusion in Musehunting’s Creativity Carnival. Go check it out, it’s suitably spiffy. I’ve been asked to MC tonight at Albion Comedy Club – apparently it’s sold out so I’m really only mentioning it on here to share, rather than induce ticket-selling riots. But there you go.

In light of our recent holiday and all the rest, I’m afraid I’m a bit behind on the video blogging this week. So as a consolation (mainly to myself!) I am posting this little oldie. Even though it’s a while since I performed this one, I thought it was relevant to share with you now seeing as: 1) Short of cutting my own hair live in a shop window while chanting “We are the Champions” to a gospel choir of monkeys, lately I’ve really begun to get into this whole  “being an artis
