Lots of things have happened since the beginning of 2007 - trips to other continents, poetry, theatre, film, radio, school...you name it!
In January, I went to Australia to visit a few friends who I originally met in the UK. It was just like Canada but hotter and with more venemous snakes. I didn't get to do anything poetry wise as it was summer holidays over there but if anyone wants to pay me to go over, I'd love to - hint, hint.
In February I was lucky to go with the British Council to India to perform Accents on Words with Aoife Mannix at Mumbai Poetry Live and Sundowners. After a couple days there, I headed north to Udaipur (beautiful) and then to Dehli so I could go out to the Taj Mahal. Of course I got sick when I was there but I survived and made it home ok.
In March I got to perform at the Alton Covent School with Aoife (the girls there were a great audience and had great questions) and headed to Birmingham the next week to perform at MAC. Jacqui the organizer was lovely and I'm glad I made it there even though I was on crutches. Mid-March I had my first short film, Night Before, made by Heart and Soul Films in Bournemouth. If all goes to plan, I'll have a copy some time in April!
The end of March meant the end of another semester of school, so I have April off to myself bar a few assignment s we were given to keep us busy! Recently I have adapted some AA Milne short stories into A Poetry Recital which is one of 4 short plays being produced by Out of Order Theatre sometime in May/ June. In June will also be 2 fundraisers for Practicum Theatre - a One Page Play Competition in south London and a Masked Carnival on 15 June. I'll be sending around the details shortly. It's to raise funds for my plays Hostage/ Bleach/ Burn so I hope everyone can come! |
