And finally, in the flurry of bit-late blog posts, I’m super excited to let you all know I’ve been selected to do a week of workshops on solo-performance at Contact Theatre (in Manchester), culminating in a pitch event on the Saturday (6pm, I think, and free), where the chosen performer will get a really ace opportunity to develop the show fully with actual international premiere.
The show that I pitched was A Conversation With My Father, and a week to think about it in this context will be absolutely invaluable; so excited!

The week will also include trying to fit all my PhD stuff into the evenings, and going to see all of the shows I’ve not already encountered that are part of the main festival. ALSO totally going to stake out possible Performance in the Pub acts. So, basically, ALL THE AWESOME. ALL OF THE BUSY. ALL OF THE TIME.
