I’ve made a couple of feature docs & drama shorts, I’m completing a book & have put in a shift in community drama practice. Sometime actor. I think the arts are a wooden horse & we’re coming to take the town. Theatre can and does change the world🇵🇸✊

Went for a night in Southend, to see ‘The Last Laugh’ a play about drive & ambition.

Southend is full of street art & there’s an independent bookshop called ‘Books on Sea’ - I got myself a mini haul of second-hand plays; used & passed on for the enrichment of others.

Yay Southend!

Layla Ajjawi is a Palestinian graffiti artist who started life in a refugee camp and whose work always represents Palestinian women and refugee women as well as the lives of the women of the Middle East. She wants to empower women through street art.

I think her street art is incredible.

Lunchtime listen.

A Nina Simone album from a few years before I arrived mewling into my incubator, it digs under my skin, burrowing through to my core on every (regular) replay.

She was the original juggernaut of talent.

I’ve been reading this.

It’s gutted me.

Aside from nazis jailing him & burning his books, he was forced into exile & worked with Joan Littlewood in the 1930s (I’m writing a book about it all) he was all about peace & freedom.

The parallels to today’s world are chilling.

Big up the library.

There are few things I enjoy more than facilitating this writing game that I learnt from practitioner John Wright more than 20 years ago and have integrated into my own practice.

I hope others have taken it into community. I know they will have but we need much more of this sort of thing.
