Sneaky Preview
Dear readers! It’s started! Two shows down, four to go! Reviews from family and friends are that the show is the funniest thing they’ve ever seen and excellent entertainment value. The drummer from my band, Wasted Monday, Sarah, took this fabulous photo of us on stage on Monday. So much silver! So much silliness! So…

Performance Artist
This is one of the poems from my recent NaPoWriMo experiment. I hope you enjoy it. Performance Artist I’m shy I don’t want to talk to people they seem so much more legitimate than me I’m uncomfortable my legs don’t sit nicely when I cross them because of my massive thighs I ate luke-warm,…

Over half way to May!
This is just a brief update post on what’s happening in April. Things have been progressing well in my world. So far I have completed my poem each day (not today but shhh) as part of NaPoWriMo and making good progress on the show for the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Firstly, the poetry. I’ve been writing…

Back to Reality
My fringe show is finished. We finished packing up the venue today. Now I have to deal with the flatness that comes with having finished a project.

We still have a lot of props, sets, and costumes to finish, but the script is solid, we have a venue and most of…

Wrapping up 2015
For the last couple of years, I’ve written a little review of my year in reference to the goals I set at the start of the year. I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions, because they have such a bad reputation for not sticking. Instead I like to set a bunch of goals. Some are stretch…

Homecoming Blues
Is there such a thing as post-travel blues? Because I’m pretty sure I have them. I’ve been back for exactly a week now and I still feel pretty lost and untethered. My trip was, at least in part, a celebration of the end of my second degree; a first step towards a new phase in…

Goodbye to the Fringe
It’s my last day at the fringe*, I’m leaving early tomorrow and I feel a lot of things. I admit a fair whack of what I feel is tired, I didn’t get home till nearly 4am last night after the Crap Music Rave Party, but there are other feelings too. I think if Tomas Ford…
