When her grandmother died, Kelly was drowning. Her dead end job at Asdas, in between the annoying-colleague-who-needs-to-get-a-life aisle and the horrible-neighbours-who-spend-their-life-gossiping-section, Kelly is hiding from the snot-filled monster in a dress, who happens to be the one, who safes her. And she him.



Kelly Jones' Drowned Girl, directed by Anna Poole just finished it's run in Chapter and I went with three fellow TEAM members as part of TEAM's…

We are getting very close to the showing of Mess up the Mess and Trans*Form Cymru's new production 'Humanequin'. 

Humanequin has been created by young trans* people together with Mess up the Mess' young people in order to inspire and create change within their communities. The performance will consist of a live element combined with the premier of a film they have created to use as…

It's a week ago now that I returned from Hamburg, where Gavin and I went to an event called "The Art of Being Many".



"The Art of Being Many" was a two day mega assembly, organised by Geheimagentur, Kampnagel and Graduiertenkolleg and was part of their PhD program.

We spent all Saturday and Sunday from noon til midnight in an old warehouse, which…

Because I still haven't figured out a way into a post-summer camp life, here are some of the very few pictures I took. You know, as a memory and a break from the back wall of my neighbours house I keep on staring at.





 

This is the view from the jetty where it all went down:…

We are back from summer camp. I´m back in Berlin, sitting in my room after 12 hours of sleep, still so tired and still buzzing from our 2 weeks of craziness, art, love and everything that´s worse than a party.



What a time we had!



I have so many fond memories of our 2 weeks in Dale that I don´t really know where to begin.

The biggest, greatest and most amazing thing have to be the people I met. Artists from all over the place and from various…

This is my view while I'm writing this blog post for you.









Let me tell you that this picture cannot, in any way, capture the beauty that is surrounding me in this moment.



A father and his son are also here,fishing.I am wondering whether I'm disturbing them. I am trying to be as quiet as I can be.

They haven't caught a fish yet but…

If they should ever ask you where I’m coming from, just tell them that ‘there’ they speak a language that’s different to this one.

And that when I say that I don’t just mean the words or the melody, which sounds like music to me.



That ‘there’ the wind messes up your hair and the level country carries the sound waves of the…

Newport, Thursday 16th of January 2014, 11:15 pm: a very tired me is lifting her heavy backpack from the seat on the Arriva Trains Wales train from Wilmslow (whaat? where the hell is Wilmslow?) on to her back and leaves the train that has carried her so calmly and trustworthy, without any complications all the way from England to South Wales.…

I'm unsure as of whether I introduced my blog here a while ago already, in case I did, please forgive me.

I started this blog to document my thoughts…

So on Monday the Pollinate Summer Camp is kicking off on Anglesey, oh how I wish I could be there.



I remember the Summer Camp as if it happened yesterday and not almost a year ago, in fact, I have a feeling I will remember the summer camp for a very, very long time, we might be talking about forever here.…

Today, I was invited to go and see the R & D presentation of a musical written by Tim Riley.

Set in an Indian restaurant in Cardiff, and telling the story of the restaurant owner, his guests and nephew, I believe it is a project to look out for.

I'm usually not one for musicals I must admit, I love music but I can't get my head around people who act normally the one minute and then burst out into song. Because of it's authentic music however, Half & Half was different, and…

Here I am, back from the wonderful weekend away in Mid Wales.

The TEAM panel spent two wonderful days in Elan Valley. We spent our weekend, accompanied by a lot of food like we know it from our mother's kitchen and even more tea, discussing the YEAR 2 wrap party and its outcome, and our future as TEAM Panel.…

So are National Theatre Wales really as approachable as they claim to be?

Is the atmosphere really as relaxed as I experience it whenever I pop down to the office for an hour or two?

Is the staff really as friendly and nice as they…

Today, I was lucky to be able to spent a day at the set (or shall I say sets?) of Give It a Name and Chapters new co-production "My life in CIA".

 The staging of Harry Mathew's autobiographical novel seems rather exciting.

Put back to the 1970s, brought to Paris, this production allows its audience not just to get an insight into Mathew's extraordinary 'game of life', but also to travel from one location to another.

No two people will have the same…

“There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits”

I have to admit that I have been wondering for quiet a while what 'Home' means to me.

I was happy to accept the place…
