roses are red
Sunday fun! Stealing every moment we can alone in the building, today we cleared each of the spaces and did a rough run. My perpetual anxiety about overwhelming Sam with lines and direction vanished when he decided not to use the script and had all of his lines down. AMAZING. There’s still away to go […]
Draw me a sheep…
Rehearsals are well underway for what I’m excited to say is my first adaptation: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince. My small, but wonderful cast of four are working with me each week bringing to life the characters from each planet the little prince visits on his journey. It is my intention to utilise the different […]
A new chapter.
Hello! After the progress showings in July, I did some more research and brainstorming around what I was hoping to achieve, or how I might challenge myself in creating this work for Civic Life.

A curtain draws open. Its thick fabric, red and rich, ripples to reveal a man. This man – a shoemaker (Leonide Massine) begins to ‘chasse’, ‘pas-de-bouree’ and ‘pirouette’; a pair of ballet shoes held in each of his hands. She (Moira Shearer) suddenly appears. Her body is lyrical and lucid, and her steps are as […]
DV8 Physical Theatre: To Swing & To Sway
DV8 Physical Theatre – The Cost of Living (2004) What is it that you see when you watch this film foot-age? What is it that you hear? And feel? Or smell? And most importantly, what do you experience (and notice you experience) in and through your own body? The power of sight – to look, […]
A little video of a bewildered clown
So while I was away en route home from the living desert in Broken Hill, I made a couple of little films of my clown. I haven’t completely decided what I’ll do with them- but I am interested in using them onstage to expand the physical and imaginative space of the stage. I felt my […]
