Festivals:Tents, a bedsit, nice people and booze

Greetings.

It's been a busy few weeks, again. I'm beginning to understand the saying 'feast and the famine.' So, whilst there is a swirl in the water, I'm going to attempt to surf, paddle and struggle until the swirl dies down and I'm back sipping tea and staring out of the window again... 

Latitude and Camp Bestival

 

As part of the 90's BPM show with Poejazzi myself, Joshua Ideuhen, Bridget Minamore, Chimene Sulleyman, Rosie Knight and James Massiah performed 90's influenced pieces at both Latitude and Camp Bestival. Here's a peice that the nice people at Latitude got me to perform called The Colour Orange

 




A Tale From The Bedsit

 

 Last week I finished the final development phase for my first solo show A Tale From The Bedsit. As part of the process, we had a room in the Camden Lock Hotel opposite the Roundhouse for a week. I stayed there for 2 nights and we did 2 sharings in there, which went well, it was very intimate and quite relaistic in comparison to the bedsit I originally lived in back in Brighton. Then on the Thursday, as a test, we moved the set (amazingly designed by India Banks and Lucy M) into the studio theater at Roundhouse and invited 40 people into the space with me and I performed the show and it was probably the best one so far! The nest stage for the show, is a preview on the 23rd August at Hoxton Hall then a 3day performance at Bestival with the full show debuting in November at Roundhouse. Exciting times...
