See how the leaf people run – nominated for an AWGIE
Wow, so when the Australian Writers’ Guild nominates your play for an AWGIE Award, they don’t email you in advance to let you know the good news. You read about it in the members’ newsletter. So I wasn’t expecting to read the 46th AWGIE announcements and see my lil ol’ play about Hmong people nominated, […]

Home from the USA + Talon Salon in Darwin Festival
Geeeez. I had an awesome and eye opening time in the USA. I spent my last week in the Twin Cities, which is also where my Dad’s massive family live. I was overwhelmed by the sense of community and generosity in the arts and within the Hmong community. I am rabidly keen to go back […]
Week #5 – U.S.A

My main purpose of coming to LA was as part of my Arts Start grant, which more specifically involves me connecting with Asian-American theatre […]
You Are Here season of Talon Salon wraps up
I’m so proud Canberra! What a great event the You Are Here festival was, running from 14-24 March 2013. A big fat wad of kudos and love-beams to the team at YAH. They programmed an endless range of great works, often quite intimate and playful and just all-round lovely. Check out the You Are Here […]
Talon Salon trial in Canberra + Moths
How absolutely excellent and worthy of superlatives. Day #2 is down of the Moths workshop and things are rollicking along and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the depth of talent in the room – Gorkem’s directing with a steady hand, the design concepts are being dreamed up by Zoe Scoglio (video) and Rob Jordan (sound) […]

The partner salon is Gentle Nails in Garema Place, and the owner is bright, supportive and gets what the project is aspiring to. The producers at YAH are pretty awesome too. Who knew my hometown would be such a […]
Creative development – The Colour White
Last week was the creative development for The Colour White, the Westside Circus project I’m working on. The other artists were Gorkem Acaroglu, Sosina Wogayehu, Sabrina D’angelo, Till Cappelli, Alex Yakimov and Tanja Beer. It was the week with ‘that’ hot day. Yup, nearly 40 degrees. The performers were diligently polishing up scenes and I […]
