Feel Good Friday

My my my...

How a lot can happen in one week.



The biggest news was the UK voting to leave the EU. But for me my attention turned to the rise in racial hate crimes in just one week as a result.

Feel Good Friday

As another chapter in my journey comes to a close I take a moment to reflect. Reflect on what's happened, what I've done etc

I recently went to the national football museum (as you do) and whilst walking around I saw this quote by Sir Alex Ferguson on the wall and I knew straight away that I had to use it







'Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough'







I thought that quote was absolutely brilliant… Continue

Experiments in co-writing

"Once upon a time, there was a father and son, and a mum."

I wasn’t expecting to write something that began “once upon a time” then again, I wasn’t expecting to write something at all.

I’m not a writer – but over the years I’ve co-written lots of performance text. Some exist on paper, but most exist only in the performers bodies…

Community is not a Dirty Word

Community is not a dirty word”

I wrote those words in my notebook whilst en route to the Acta Community Theatre Festival in Bristol last week.
