The recent update on this boy's life is that he finally completed and presented his Practical Dissertation. A landmark that also completes the whole practical side of the European Theatre Arts course. I am just one Written Dissertation and two Research Portfolios - circabout 13 thousand written words - away from my BA degree. Funky, that.
My Practical Dissertation was unbelievably well received. I had no idea that I was on to something, but apparently I was. It humbles me and makes me feel good when people so generously share their positive reactions to the work. It also makes me feel awkward.
And, yet again, I feel that it isn't deserved. My performers deserve all the praise in the world .. I put them through what must have been a terrifying experience (one of them even suffers from serious stage fright, I didn't know that before I lured her into the project) and they were absolutely amazing.
That they exerted themselves as they did humbles me and I can't thank them enough.

In the coming week Dan Kai Teatro will start the revival process of Nana del Caballo and Quiescence, two pieces from our repertoire, as they will be presented at the Sprint festival at Camden People's Theatre on the 9., 10., 19., and 20. of May. Alongside the revival process I will start the research and typing needed for those 13 thousand words to manifest themselves on paper.
Then as June arrives I depart with my muse to Gardzienice.

Update complete,
