Was an absolute joy hosting a Pin the Tale poetry workshop at @pmstudiouk.bsky.social last Thursday with Bridget Hart. Participants shared poems about places all across Bristol, written using what3words addresses, and we even wrote a collective poem about Bristol’s iconic Turbo Island!

Thank you @pmstudiouk.bsky.social for having me on Friday! I talked about my work mixing video games and performance and began by performing some interactive clown with the help of the audience and my good friend the talking Pierce Brosnan dummy 😁✨
