I’ve just returned from a 3 days trip to Sydney, the first time I’ve been there for quite a few years.  It came about because of an invitation to run two workshops for the NSW Speech and Drama Association‘s annual seminar.  They wanted to sample my warmup programs for themselves, so that was the first session.  For the second one, they gave me free range, so I chose to work with them on Shakespeare cue scripts. They also very generously invited me to spend the whole two days with them, joining in all of their activities, including lunches at Bill & Tony’s, dinner at the Pullman Hotel, and a lovely wander down to the Harbour to see the last night of the Vivid Festival of Light.

What a Delightful Bunch of People!

I’m now back in Brisbane with a serious mission to complete my thesis revisions in the next fortnight, raise enough money to pay for my trip to LA to study Knight-Thompson Speech and Accent work, and to visit Seattle to catch up with my family, and my Seattle buddies in theatre and voice.

The App is doing well, with two fantastic reviews so far in the Australia App Store, and one in the US store.

Bessie the clown is also agitating for a few moments in the sun before too long, so I’ll be loping along to the Brisbane Clown Jam sessions on a Sunday evening at the Stores Building, Powerhouse. See you there, perhaps?
