Shows are GO!

Well, wow. It’s been a whirlwind! 

It’s the end of day two of TakeOff festival and as I crawl into bed I feel like I have to write something to enable me to get enough out of my head before I can sleep!

Firstly, I have to thank Theatre Hullaballoo: I have been working a route lead for them through the festival. More support which has enabled me, as a beginning artist and a freelancer to get to this amazing festival.

As for the shows I have seen – Well there has been so much worth talking about. I’ve seen dance pieces, non-verbal pieces and bilingual pieces; I’ve seen augmented reality, puppetry and Storytelling; I’ve seen pieces which have made me laugh, pieces that have made me cry and pieces that have made me cover my eyes. I’ve seen pieces which have made me question, pieces that have made me remember and pieces which have made me want play. Although I am hosting a delegate route, at many of the shows, there have been family or school audiences too, and seeing the children's reactions and interactions has been a privilege. I have been inspired in so many ways. 

I’ve also met many incredible and inspiring people and had some wonderful conversations. Delegates, Hullaballoo staff and volunteers, venue staff. All have been amazing. 

And I still have tomorrow!  There will be more detail here and also in my feedback events: more details here.
