Everything that I'm up to. Everything that inspires my work.
“Funny, dark, engaging and revealing.” THE HUSTLE ROYALE is a 45-minute exploration of mental health in the workplace. It is being described as funny, thought-provoking and moving. It is just perfect for your next business event, conference or festival. It is semi-autobiographical and explores contemporary corporate life and its impact on mental health in the workplace. IN THE FOREST A forest. …
You may or may not have noticed that I’ve moved into a studio. That’s right, I’ve moved out of my home office and into a bigger space, with more room to do bigger things. I’ll introduce you all to the studio properly next month, but what I can tell you is that it’s more than just a working space; it’s …
The closing of the Art & Social Context course at Dartington College of Arts is an often-forgotten episode in a series of disappointing calamities that ultimately led to the closing of the College in 2010. In retrospect, it was also an amuse gueule for the mess the Dartington Hall Trust now finds itself. Back in 1990, mismanagement, poor decision-making, and what can …
If you follow me on Instagram (please follow me on Instagram), you will have noticed that I’m currently working on my character studies for the new performance. I’m very much enjoying the process, and having the studio really makes a difference to the work. The feedback I’ve received about the images has been very positive, and my artist’s bone has …
It’s always tempting to start a post like this with: something, something, pandemic – something, something disruption, something, something change and, indeed, this is year has been a rollercoaster ride. There have been seemingly endless phases of pandemic blues and the ache of not doing what I love most – which is to perform in front of an audience (I’ve been doing …
The format with no name I’ve created a new format. It doesn’t have a name yet. It’s a mix of performance, informative presentation, Twitch-stream and gameshow. I performed it for the first time last week for a tech company and the feedback was “we’ve never seen anything like this before… our intranet is on fire“… which is a good sign, …
I’ve been genuinely moved by the response to my isolated.com talk which is called Hanging in There. I’m chuffed to bits that they accepted and published it. A couple of people have pointed out that sub-titles might have helped. I was trying to create an emotional connection with the viewer and I think that subtitles would have detracted from what …
1 year later. The following post was published a year ago today. I published A Wicked Pack Of Cards a year ago today. I’m not sure how I feel about that. So much has changed. The world has changed. I have changed. I’m not sure about what kind of artist I want to be anymore. Not sure if I want …
The Rotwand tour is one of my favourite creative walks routes. It’s a relatively easy hike that takes you through a pine forest, past a couple of Alpine cabins and you even get to see a few waterfalls. You’ll be greeted by cowbells and cattle about thirty minutes from the summit too. As with any mountain path, the weather dictates …
You don’t always have to go on a great long walk to kick start your creative intelligence. Sure a day up in the Bavarian Alps is certainly spectacular but when you’re pressed for time and ideas a quick saunter along a river can help too. Sometimes just getting out and taking an hour or so for a wander can do …
