Gosh! It’s been a whole month since I last wrote...this is terribly neglectful so I apologise…sorry... The good news is that it isn’t because I have nothing to write about, in fact, the last four weeks have been packed with so many opportunities, developments and events. No, I think the reason I haven’t logged on to record my reflections for so long is because there has almost been too much going on to be able to reflect on any one thing in a meaningful way. This must change as experience has taught me a lack of reflection for a prolonged period of time normally results in temporary insanity…
There is a relevant point to note in amongst all of this activity (I refrained from typing chaos but only just) and to that end this post becomes almost an epilogue to the last one…
After I had posted “Walking Away,” I was genuinely touched by both the positive comments and RT’s and by the genuine concern of readers. In light of this I feel it’s only fair to let you all know that walking away was every bit as positive as I hoped it would be. Since we made that decision all sorts of opportunities have opened up for us and since we’re not mentally and emotionally exhausted as a result of having to deal with an organisation that has no consideration, respect or vision we’ve been able to make the most of them…
There are so many bright things on the horizon and all of them doing what I genuinely love: I’ve been commissioned to write two plays in the last month…I’ve had the chance to work with other practitioners who’ve inspired me and my work is definitely beginning to develop a national profile. We have funding to create our first 6 podcasts… The solo shows are well on the way and many schools in the area are already behind the project. You see…the whole thing makes me wonder why it took us so long in the first place…of course nothing is perfect…it would be good to not be quite so precariously poised financially…but never the less this feels much more like the life I intended to live and far from the trap we were being driven into…so yeah a month into the new chapter and all is well…I’ll keep you posted…
