August 2015
Big things are afoot, as we move to the final stage of confirming and signing contracts for two major bilingual street theatre & spectacle projects, one working with Irish Gaelic in the West of Ireland first up and another with Gaelic closer to home in Scotland shortly after. As I've been working and training for the last 15 years to get to this point, it's a very exciting time and I'm deeply grateful for the skills, experience and enthusiasm of my collaborator and close friend, Calum Beaton, a core member of reknowned Scottish street theatre group, Mischief La Bas, for over ten years and one of the most experienced street theatre and spectacle practitioners in Scotland, and also, as far as we know, the only other such artist with Gaelic.
Exciting times indeed, with lots of planning and prep still to come, but first up, making contact with Festivals for bookings for November, Christmas & the New Year, and supporting Calum's & Theatre Found's Edinbrugh Fringe Show, 'Showbiz, Or, Repeat Until Funny', and preparing for my 2nd Blas Festival & 5th High Life Highland schools workshop tour across the Highlands at the beginning of September.
