5th May 2009 :Lost In Translation!! and Other Journeys.

It seems that I never actually unpack these days just transfer underpants from one place to the next! Belgium festival was wonderful and I met some old friends and made new ones. Pete developed a new dance move some strange twiddly thing with his fingers that has been re-named "confused snail" Just got back from Shropshire and introduced Izz to "Chicken Tennis" not as cruel as it sounds... but for one glorious moment as they are thrown back to safety over the garden wall they believe they can fly.

So one days grace and repacking the pants to travel to London to do Lost In Translation !! again (obviously that is me doing the show not an independant pair of sentient pants that would be ... well just strange)I love this show, I love the characters and the way it moves from anger to friendship and all points inbetween. I can honestly say working with Pete Chand has been wonderful, doesnt really feel like work and often at the end of rehearsals im tinged with guilt because I dont feel like I have gone through enough angst

Am due to start building a story cabinet with Bob for a new project based near Halifax . So this summer my hands will be cut to ribbons again but as there is little feeling there its more a question of making sure I dont botch the sculpture!

Am also looking forward to going to see Simon Heywoods new piece "Darkest England" at the Fat Cat next Thursday (14th May) and the other highlight will be doing a voice workshop in Derby next weekend with Frankie Armstrong! I have so little confidence with my singing voice so Im hoping with will instill a sense of, ... well I'm not sure what yet so will let you know when I find out.

So for now ..the moon is bright over Derbyshire as bright as a wolfs eye. The blackbirds have gone to sleep in the hedges and my Tomato plants are doing well so all is right with the world.
