Knight-Thompson Speechworks training was Intense, with an intentional Capital I. Three weeks of immersion in the mechanics of speech and accents was thrilling, exhausting and deeply satisfying. I was surrounded by enormously talented individuals, all with unique styles of delivery when it comes to teaching and coaching, so there was as much to learn from my fellow students as there was from the teachers. I also managed to fit in private coaching sessions with Joan Melton (One Voice), and Marya Lowry. Boy oh boy did my voice get a workout to die for!!! I am now moving on to stay with friends in New Jersey for the next three weeks, where I will be head down-tail up writing and rehearsing, developing my new solo performance.

Good-bye New York. It has been a total blast.

Two weeks in Seattle with the family are almost over. It’s been wonderful watching my grandson playing baseball and soccer (and having him beat me at chess), and my granddaughter colouring in with great precision and attention to shades of purple.

I’ve been able to catch up with my great friend and colleague Gin Hammond. Gin is presently developing a wonderful piece of total theatre, “Gifts of War”, for production in September. This evening we are heading – en famille – to the Safeco Stadium to watch the Mariners playing the Indians and seeing a “Gifts of War” promo splashed up on the big screen for all to see.

Tomorrow I fly to New York for a long overdue catch up with Amy Stoller and other VASTA colleagues, before embarking on the full whammy of three weeks of Knight-Thompson Speechworks training.

Oh, by the way, my thesis was approved. You may now refer to me as Dr Kennedy, although I really hope you don’t!
