GIRLS' NIGHT OUT ✨💕
Excited (and a bit terrified) to be doing my FIRST LIVE SET SINCE FEB 2020, taking place THIS FRIDAY as part of @girlgangmcr's Girls' Night Out at @hopemilltheatre's Hope Fest. There's an outdoor stage, socially distanced seating, and a cracking line-up of dance, performance, spoken word + all sorts of other exciting happenings. All genders welcome, I'd love to see some familiar faces in the audience if you fancy it - it's been so long since I've been on a stage! BUT I've been practising in my bedroom + I've got a good sparkly dress so grab yr tickets while you can + see you on Friday?! See @girlgangmcr for the full line-up + ticket details. 🎊🌠

Still putting my mind + heart back together after

Still putting my mind + heart back together after being lucky enough to see @luxxy_luxx's beautiful show Eating the Copper Apple live in Liverpool last night.
🍎
Very grateful for luxx's generosity in sharing the script too: there was so much depth, thought, richness + intricacy in last night's performance that I already know I'll want to dive back into it again + again.
✨
Stunningly, thoughtfully staged in terms of visuals + sound as well as the words + performance elements, watching it was such an immersive, evocative experience, exploring generational + ancestral identity; heritage, family, belonging + home; and the roles of language, art, intimacy + connection in finding + healing ourselves + each other.
🍎
It's such an accomplished, imaginative, haunting + courageous piece, with so much integrity. I believe there's one more performance tomorrow night: if you can go I totally recommend it.

#TestSignal has been out in the world for one entire week AND I've had a couple of rejections + knockbacks over the past few days so wanted to validate for myself + anyone else who needs to hear it today that these things - bruising as they can be at times - are just as much part of the creative process as anything else.

My story in Test Signal is one of my favourite short stories I've ever written. And I originally wrote it with another subs call on my radar as a possible place to send it once it was done. It got rejected from that anthology. I reworked + rewrote it, then saw the submissions call for Test Signal. And I couldn't be prouder or happier to be part of this collection. More than that, I'm proud I kept the faith + continued to show up for this story even when it got knocked back along the way. Look at it now. ✨💖

If you've got a story that took a while to find its eventual home (or is maybe still searching for it!), I'd love to hear about your victories / how you build the trust + practice of keeping the faith 'til then...? 💪
