The cabaret at The Broadway in Barking was fantastic! Over the course of the week we built up a bit of an audience following, many of whom were students from Barking college, it was good to bring them the type of theatre that wouldn't normally be accessible to them. Plans are underway for a Christmas Cabaret!

On Sunday afternoon I had a rare local gig in Kingston at the Ram Jam Club for Bawdsville. I performed my Allo Allo act, which seemed to blend with the other acts, and went down very well. I have been invited to perform there again next month for the Halloween themed cabaret. There was a really good blend of acts - not just the endless stream of burlesque - plenty of music, comedy and poetry. Read more about Bawdsville here.

I had a very strange assignment to fulfil on Monday. I had been put in touch with Phoenix Thomas during the week at the Broadway, who is studying for a Research in Performance Practise PHD at The Central School of Speech and Drama. She is a costume designer who is interested placing costume at the centre of performance creation. She had designed and realised a costume from Angela Carter's Story; 'Princess in a Suit of Leather' and wanted to film various performers interacting with the costume, for use in an interactive installation. The project is part of Collisions, and Phoenix will be showcasing her work this Saturday 6th October. I am excited to see which sections of my interactions Phoenix uses, and how this will work with the other performers - I have absolutely no idea what they did; Phoenix took care to keep things very open and non-directed. The project sounded fascinating, and I was very privileged to have the opportunity to take part.

Next week: Someone Call me a Cabaret, The Saturday Arts Club live podcast, and Finger in the Pie Cabaret.
