Writing

  1. Stuck in a stable space

    For Voice class this term we had to write a song. Here’s how the process went for me.

  2. Completely different things

    This week I’m described in the press as a “web designer and programmer” and a “British actor”.

  3. Our quest to understand how things move

    We’ve had to memorise text for the first time… choosing a piece of a great speech and some words that open up big and small spaces.

  4. Has become untethered

    Two quotes from the LRB and NYRB on religion / secularism and US politics.

  5. People instead of puppets

    The grotesque, over the top caricatures of posh people and celebrities, which didn’t do a lot for me.

  6. Félix Fénéon’s worthy material

    Félix Fénéon’s ‘Novels in Three Lines’ as great Twitter fodder, plus some other related eye-openers.

  7. Without worrying about acting

    This week we’ve been behaving like children, starting Butoh classes, and I’ve been failing at handstands (still).

  8. Personal University

    The Personal MBA reading list has got me all excited.

  9. A new year’s resolution for you

    If you want a new years’ resolution, why not start reading Pepys’ Diary. Here are some reasons why you should.

  10. Flood of chatter

    Our end of term pieces went OK, although the Creation process remains frustrating.

  11. The new BBC homepage

    My thoughts on the new BBC homepage, which isn’t the project I was working on over the summer.

  12. Hands full of swords

    I’ve finished my first term of a weekly stage combat course, and it’s a lot of fun.

  13. Available for work

    I have some time available for work over the festive period.

  14. Epic storytelling

    We’ve moved from Commedia to epic storytelling, although telling real-life epic stories makes me uneasy for some reason.

  15. Ambition(s)

    For our new Company Development class I had to write down my “dream life as a creative artist”. This is my attempt.

  16. It was fun even

    It’s been a bumpy start to the second year after all. After a very low point I finally gathered up my courage and things have been looking up.

  17. A homepage, the power of design, and “consulting”

    I spent some of the summer consulting at the BBC on the future direction of their homepage. “Consulting” is a new experience for me.

  18. The Advanced Course begins

    We’re four days into the second (and final) year at LISPA and so far I’ve been…

  19. Net::Delicious errors

    I don’t like apologising for a post right at the start, but I must admit that this will…

  20. Back to school

    Returning to LISPA for the second year. Wariness turns to excitement, at last.

  21. BBC Programmes

    The site has just launched, with a permanent page for every episode of every TV and radio programme, and I’m proud to have been a part of it.

  22. Is everyone scared of maths?

    A few days ago I saw Complicite’s new production at the Barbican, A Disappearing Number. I…

  23. Summer plans

    A quick update on what I’m up to… Term finished a couple of weeks ago and the world of…

  24. Twenty Movements

    The mythical Twenty Movements, ending the first year at LISPA.

  25. Final performance

    An unenjoyable three weeks spent trying to come up with an interesting performance after observing “religious spaces”.
