This is the end.
Closing night. Heart Breaker. But already in joyful talks to remount the work with a producer late next year!

Catathrenia will be featured in my ArtsLab piece. If I win this competition I gain a place at the National Young Writers Studio. Which excites me as this year was all about exploring my […]

When life gives you lemons, make AAAAAARRRRRRT
I think we are all feeling the pressure of the up coming work in progress showing. Personally, life has been kicking me in my metaphorical testicles so the stress has compounded with trying to balance life and making. This showing is an opportunity to get feedback from peers and deeply respected members of the […]
Déjà vu
I would always dream I was the rabbit… Déjà vu – I believe it is that moment when your dreams come true, even though I know it’s just an impression. IMGs found on weheartit.com
Navigating, navigating
Think I’m more of a dog person, and I also don’t knit, but Toby is expressing quite succinctly where I’m at in the process. Slightly droopy and bewildered. Onto editing at the moment! Which means more things will invariably show. (Cater to my needs, world.) Yay.
Sinking
When you put a seashell to your ear, the sound you hear is of your own blood surging in your viens… not the ocean at all. But it is nice to imagin… That it is an ocean…
In the beginning…
There was vulnerability. This video is footage from Pollyanna’s initial audition for ArtsLab 12, it features some of the wonderful artists (such as Michael Piggot, Augusta Supple, Erica Brennan) that work at Shopfront Theatre. Pollyanna is very grateful they accepted her into the program with this odd audition. The footage also includes a voice recording […]
Make it work!
It is all kicking along with the ArtsLab crew. We have all been wrestling with our own ideas and creating as much as we can when in the space with our mentors. Now that the official roster of guest artists/producers has been created and given to us I am excited about what is to come!
Early days, but good days.

It was a relaxed atmosphere, seeing as most of us already knew each other; add in a little swapping of food and meeting Ava, and here’s ArtsLab’12.
ArtsLab11 Reflection: What was the experience?
My 2011 ArtsLab year has come to an end, and upon reflection, I know this experience will continue to shape the paths I forge and the stepping stones I choose to jump, to come. However, before I close this chapter, I want to briefly reflect and in turn reveal, what my ArtsLab11 experience has really […]
Trapped in the (under)belly of the beast.
Applespiel perform ‘Awful Literature is Still Literature I Guess’ at the 2012 Underbelly Arts Festival, Cockatoo Island. Artslab Work-In-Progress showing happened, chewed me up, sucked me dry, and spat me out onto Cockatoo Island to work with Applespiel on a little piece about disappointing books. We’ve debriefed the first phase of Artslab as a whole […]
Directing Flesh!
Flesh meats Mind. A conversation with David Finnigan puts things into persective.
Anxiety and Sercurity
Eve Ensler Speaks about the dangers of ecurity on TED. Here are some brief thoughts about my own struggle with security and anxiety. How this struggle is shaping my approach to work as a whole and to this creative development in particular.
