Had the privilege of a preview of this. It's joyous! As is the book, get the book! (Holding out for the stage adaptation now - venues with deep pockets, cough up! 😜)
We made a film!
SLIDING
it's about our collection of 35mm slides. It's about photography and memory. It is about gathering together to see the world through someone else's eyes.

During the last days of Trumps first reign, we made an animation about the horrors that would play out.
It seems some of the predictions were spookily accurate.
Here it is, free to watch.

Mariposa from De Nada dance was awesome tonight. Literally moved to tears. Didn't know a piece of dance could contain this amount of brutality and tenderness. Kudos to Carlos Pons Guerra and DeNada Dance and Spin Arts - catch it in London at The Place or Leeds at Northern Ballet.

Surely we can evidence the proportionate input of ALL THE OTHER CREATIVES INVOLVED & present a case for NOT SHAFTING THEM or having *their* work and contributions cancelled? This stuff fucks me off. By all means cancel a solo show or "an evening with". But seriously we've gotta stop this bollocks
