OK, well I made it to Canada safely. It's taken me a bit of time to get my Atlantic legs back and I'm only just starting to feel settled. My intention was to write an update before leaving England, but it was too hectic, so to recap...
The Temple of Nothing's preview of Women are Revolting was held at the Exeter Phoenix Bar on 18th June. It was fabulous. This was the first time I had performed any of my own poetry and I had the opportunity to do two from my larger body of work called the Book of You: Chapter 2 (Define Definition) and Chapter 3 (I am Eve). The event was recorded and the wonderful Belinda, Belinda, Belinda of Big Brother 9 fame and one of the founding members of the Temple of Nothing has edited some wonderful snippets of performances from the night which are making their way across youtube and facebook. Great stuff!
I was able to do some filming with Sam and Dave for their new mockumentary: The Making of the Sam and Dave Show which will be premiered during their live show at the Exeter Autumn Festival. This is going to be a great show. The more time I spend with them, the better the work is and they are at the top of their game now. It's fabulous.
I'm trying to do as much early networking in Halifax as possible, laying the groundwork for future work, writing, performances and meeting some fabulous people in the local arts scene. I also have an audition with Neptune Theatre for their company on Monday and will be scrambling in a blind panic to learn my two monologues by then. But, if I want it, I've got to show them the goods. Let's hope the goods are good enough!!
I will try to make my entries more frequent now that I'm settling in and having more news to report. Let's hope the sun comes out soon, this is more like English weather!
