Looking Back
So it’s nearly the end of 2011 and once again, without a minute really to sit and think about it, it’s only now I can take in how the last 365 days have somehow once again creatively outdone the previous year. Twas a good one. Really happy with the projects I have worked on the and the work I have generated.
OLD ME worked really well for what I intended and the bunch of artists I worked with were genuinely brilliant.
When I agreed to a two week run I hoped I’d get one night that felt bang on. I got two. That’s twice as good. Loved sharing it with everyone so if you made it down thanks for coming.
Interesting things that occurred creatively this year:
1. Idea, writing, development, collaboration, performance of a new feature length piece within 6 months.
2. Being asked to co-write the words for Akram Khan’s performance piece DESH
3. Stopped doing strictly spoken word sets of the same old short pieces
4. Berko came home
5. Two lots of my roundhouse students came good and proved to be much more interesting than a lot of the people getting paid to do spoken word
6. My oldest boy beat me in a kitchen battle rhyme off
Lots of thing ‘pending’ for 2012. One thing that is a certainty is that I will be sharing a new performance piece for anyone aged 10+ at The BAC Battersea Arts Centre in March.
It will be good.
Just ran out of steam. Need to get my self promotion internet stamina up in the new year.
Hold tight. Keyboards
