Catch up

I originally wrote this on the plane o. 28 Feb and have only got round to posting. 

Yes I'm terrible at keeping this blog updated going. The last few months, heck even the year has been insane. I've spoken on here about my work on Oily Carts tube, which right at this moment is taken me further away from the UK to Abu Dhabi. I'm currently on the flight heading there a country that is hotter in March thank it is in the UK summer. A country where it has a different belief system and moral code. The furthest out of the UK I have been is to Sweden. This is the biggest plane I have been on. For a 26 year old I am not well traveled and I suppose have lived a sheltered life in that way. I feel very privileged to have this opportunity to be payed to go to another country and it is something I have dreamed of for a long time. Oily cart are a truly wonderful company that make fantastic productions and I feel lucky to be working with them. 

I have no idea what this little adventure will hold but I'm looking forward to finding out and exploring. 

Last year I had some great opportunities and worked on some great productions towards the end of last year. I've continued to work with half moon including touring London again with road safety show 'more important things' and continuing to work on there receiving shows. 

Also I continued my work with GABA including the arts festival at Phoenix based on the seasons and heading to a school in Tottenham to work on a project to do with hospitals. I love working on projects with special needs children it is very rewarding experience and much more fun. 

Towards the end of last year I worked on a project that I was lucky to work with in such a different venue. The show was from the very talented magician Nick Einhorne and performed at the magic circle. We spent a week in the venue and took Nicks vision for a full stage show and turned it into a reality. Even though I was very close to the project and the tricks I am still not sure how all of them are done and that was one of the pleasures of working on the show, still at every performance I was still being amazed and shocked at some of the tricks. Even the tricks I did know how they were done still felt amazing every night when it went right and the audience reactions are what we set out to achieve. This was something that I production managed and feel incredibly proud of, it was a very technical show with lots of video and projection but it worked well after ironing out the minor problems. I do hope the show returns as it means a lot to me and had a great time. 

The year is off to a good start already and I hope my blogging gets back up to speed and more regular. Till next time, goodbye my friends.
