OK. I think I probably sound like a ‘know it all.’ And I’m going to blame this on my day-job! I know I try not to sound this way … and I also try to avoid the sweeping statement that sets you up for a fall. I guess it’s a balancing act between sounding as

I’ve been working with a team of students for the past 10 weeks on what we call a production project. It’s a period of engagement with a particular play with all of their classes, training, workshops, rehearsals etc., being focussed on the final outcome … a public production. The students are in their second year

Image: thanks aslakr I’m also pondering the same question: whether or not ’tis better to respond via a blog post, acknowledge the stimulus, and create pingbacks, or to converse via comments. For me it depends on the nature of the post … its content and tone. Whilst I’m doing my best to rise to the

That’s where I’ve been for a week or more … in the theatre sitting out front at the director’s desk. The Groundling apologises to readers for the long time between drinks; theatre has a habit of taking over your life when you’re in a production. Thus, an excuse for neglecting my scribbles here. I’ve been

Image via Wikipedia Day 6 has dawned bright and oh so clear where I write. I’m a morning blogger and I have to say one of the things that gets my brain in gear for the day ahead is the ritual of good coffee with a look out over my valley and then some word-smithing

Now Cinco de Mayo is huge elsewhere, but it kind of passes us by down here in Australia, a bit the way Australia Day would in Mexico. There you go! However what does unite us globally on a daily … seemingly hourly basis what with television, Twitter, Facebook et al … are words and images,
