I'm really excited about a new venture that's been batted around for a while, but now has finally got going. I'm working with two  performers on a theatre piece inspired by the Oberiu, which was a collective of writers who staged absurdist happenings in the late 1920's. Wikipedia entry.
One of the company members is a musician, the other a singer and actress, and I will be making puupets and costumes for us, as well as performing. We will create lots of short vignettes to perform in cabaret contexts, and eventually we hope to shape a full-length piece from the material. We have our first gig booked already - it's Thursday 29th November at Cabaret Salon, Volupte. I have created a separate page for the company on this site, here it is!

I've been soaking up plenty of visual research for my costume-making, and last Monday involved a trip to the V&A to see the Hollywood Costume exhibition - which was very busy, but well worth seeing. I couldn't take any pictures inside, but I did take some of the other displays, and have been gathering some images to help me. A little selection follows...
I am fast approaching my 100th performance! It's this Friday at Dr Strangelove's in Winchester. Something of a homecoming, as Winchester was where I was born! The event details are here.

I'm very honoured to have been asked back to Bawdsville Cabaret and Curry at The Ram Jam Club in Kingston this Sunday. It's a Halloweeen themed event, and I will be performing a re-jigged version of my Black Market Baby Act.
