In what was an exciting start to 2008 in mid January, I travelled back to Nashville, Tennessee to begin work on an exciting new project in partnership with the Cultural Enrichment Department of Vanderbilt University. I have been commissioned to create a new production around the work and experiences of nurses and spent five days meeting with and observing a number of nurses at work in a variety of areas throughout the hospital. It promises to be one of the most exciting and challenging projects I have yet undertaken.

Arts in Society Conference - Edinburgh |
|
Friday, 26 January 2007 |
|
I had a great time at the conference in
Edinburgh, meeting some lovely and interesting people and attending a
number of workshops well outside my usual fields which was both
challenging and inspiring.
My presentation on the Engaging
Communities – the Small Town Big Picture Project was very well
received with several people making enquiries about my availability
to present at other conferences around the world in 2007 which is a
very exciting prospect. I also had the opportunity to catch up with
friends who were presenting shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and see a
number of other works.
This was my first visit to Edinburgh since
Crusade was performed there in 2000 and it was great to be reminded
that Edinburgh, a beautiful city at any time, is an absolute blast
during the Festival!

 At The UNESCO World Conference
It was a great experience attending the
UNESCO World Conference on Arts and Education where my paper Making
It Matter was very well received (see photo attached). This has lead
to my being invited to present at the International Conference on
Arts and Culture to be held in Edinburgh in August 2006 during the
Edinburgh Festival which is a wonderful opportunity that I am looking
forward to greatly.
