What's coming up
2013 is looking busy already! While being mum to Sofia (born July 2012), working locums in NZ and Australia, and trying to keep up with research and study requirements, I've found that sleep is also, inconveniently, a requirement. I try to get away with staying up to write sometimes. But it always finds me.
2013 kicked off with a reading of my play The Quiet Room as part of Dark Mondays at The Pumphouse. I'll be looking to further develop the play this year - watch this space! The Auckland Fringe and the Auckland Arts Festival is next. I am covering these as an arts journalist for The Big Idea with a happily ambitious schedule. I also have work in both Fringe and Fest: a short play as part of the rotating 'menu' for The Enigma Box, performing and MCing in Spit It Out, and a poem which will be 'translated' and performed as part of Aotearoa Found in Translation. Culture Clash, which I took part in last year as writer and dramaturg, will also be performed at the Auckland Arts Festival as part of White Nights.
March- May I will be convening the second "New Kiwi Women Write" workshop series for Auckland Council. This will be twice as big and involve twice as many writers, and is free: for more information, see the website.
In late May the second development workshop of Paper Boats, a new theatre piece, will take place at the Herald Theatre, courtesy of support from The EDGE. Premiere is planned for 2014.
And that's 'all' ... so far. In between, I'll be writing.... plays, poetry, grant applications, research papers. I have a 3/4 baked poetry collection manuscript which needs finishing this year, a couple of plays I've promised various people....
I contribute a blog, Talkwrite, at The Big Idea.
