Sex, Drugs and on the Dole

So yesterday was the final show for Sex, Drugs and on the Dole, and was easily the best one. Packed audience and everyone delivered! Here's a little of video of some highlights form the show

Beatbox Jam

As mentioned before, I sometimes get to work the stupidly sick BAC Beatbox Academy led by Conrad Murray. Here's a video of a jam we did last week. I look like the awkward uncle trying to dance in this one, I think I was concentrating trying to remember the words, it was a new piece...


If you're interested in Beatboxing (and under 21, sorry!) the Beatbox Academy run drop in sessions every Thursday in term time) as part of Homegrown

Checking In

Greetings


It's been a wee while since I posted an update, the last few months have been nuts, to say the least!


Since the last update, just before The Crawley Wordfest, I went straight into intensive rehearsals for the now finished outdoor show Babel. It ran for 2 weeks in May and was easily one of the most amazing and challenging experiences I've ever had. There were many many people involved, there was rain, long days, rain, coldness, rain but a lot of fun which really pushed me in terms of being a performer and who I was lucky enough to be working with, and the fact that I got to go up in front of, on some nights over a 1000 people, who very much got into the spirit of things! 


An amazing on going project I'm currently working on, running since March, is the Apples & Sankes: Shake The Dust as a shadow poet at a school in the South East region. The Regional Final is at The Nuffield Theatre is on the 25th June, which I'm looking forward too.

After finishing Babel I went straight into rehearsals for a play by Boston Murray called Sex, Drugs and on the Dole in which I play a stoner called Fab. The last show is this Sunday which is also my birthday.

I'm also working on the BAC Homegrown programme which, as ever, provides excellent opportunities for 14-25 years old in the performing arts, it's a pleasure to be back there.

Well, that pretty much completes the round up!
