Delighted to see favourites from Backxwash, Rattle, and Lyra Pramuk in there. Although sad not to see Florence Adooni and Guedra Guedra. Those 5 have been on heavy rotation for me.

That feeling when you finally get round to restringing your cello 😇

So bored of the narrative that artists are unable to receive feedback on failed applications due to small team/number of submissions. If you’re doing your job properly in order to reject an idea, you’ll have taken notes on why. That’s all we need to see.

Submitting a funding application 10 days before the deadline. Who even am I?

Delighted to be bringing new show Tongue Twister to Edinburgh International Children’s Festival this year as one of their Expo commissions. Along with Scottish Theatre Producers, Aberdeen Performing Arts, and Kloden (Norway).

Might combine them all into some sexy mythical beast!

Ha! I’ll look out a jaunty hat. Think you might be onto something about just trying to reframe it in my mind. Thanks

Going through a phase of imposter syndrome right now. Any freelance artists got any tips on how to shake it? It’s making me want to cancel projects it’s pretty bad
