I'm a theatre director, born and bred in Cardiff. I have lived and worked in lots of exciting places, from Brazil, to Sweden, the USA and all around the UK. I love theatre that directly connects with an audience - whether that be a new play written by an up and coming writer or an experiential piece of devised theatre. The important thing for me is what happens in the space between the performer and the audience - and how the audience are involved in the piece.

I'm in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival with Dirty Protest's "Sugar Baby" by Alan Harris. It's the end of week one of the largest arts festival in the world. I'm in our hired accommodation; which I'm sure is student digs for the rest of the year but festival hire allows the landlord to pay off his mortgage in the 31 days of August. I'm…

Hi Catherine. Few questions regarding next Sunday. I will be using friends for this event. Is it preferably script in hand or learnt? Also - anything else need prepared, a synopsis perhaps for the compere? Thanks x
thanks catherine. i have just sent you a message too x
Hi Catherine, I tried to message you as per the instructions, but it said we needed to be friends first?
(I don't mind putting my email here though, it's: thechaogoesmu(at)gmail.com, and the play is called "coming and going")
Thanks Catherine - I will see you there!

Hi Catherine, thanks for your message. Yes, I'd be happy to contribute to the discussions on the 12th by providing a few sentences to kick off a debate. Given a choice between the two I'd probably opt for the post Scottish referendum one. Let me know what kind of time slot you were thinking of - just a few minutes, yes?
I'm hoping to set up a symposium at the Atrium before the end of the year where the founder members of Scotland's National Collective are invited down to speak, so it'll give me a chance to mention that.
Thanks

Thanks Catherine - that'll be great - I can regale you with stories of how I slaved away in the Angel's kitchens!
Can you remind me of the date and time again?
Cheers!
Hi Catherine
No I meant the Dirty Protest event in the Angel Hotel - I worked there as a teenager a long time ago :-)
