Rehearsals are going WELL. But there’s a reason dogs aren’t allowed on the boat.

Exciting things planned for 2025, like Perth World Fringe and a return to where it all begin, Adelaide Fringe. Also non-boat-related projects! More on that later. For now Im overflowing with gratitude and awe.

Thx everyone who I’ve met along this stormy sea voyage called life. There’s one. 🚤💕🚤💕

In 2024 MOTORBOAT premiered and traveled the world to 6 different fests on 3 continents. And that’s all just the first year!

I’ve never really been a numbers or stats person as I think there’s so much that is unquantifiable by that metric.

But, having said that, I’d love to take a look back at what has been one of the best years of my life professionally (and personally! But that’s a different post).
A red background with 5 duplicates (in descending order or height) of a woman wearing a sailor hat and doing a salute while wearing a revealing sailor shirt Woman in a sailor suit is mid dance with her hair flipped into the air and there are 6 festival logos arranged around her Woman in captain's hat stares ahead with a surprised expression whlie surrounded by pull quotes from reviewers.
