It looks like 2014 will be a year of new beginnings. This is kind of the automatic result of endings, but to be honest, I think this should all work out okay. I was made redundant from my job last week. Normally this would be really upsetting, but my boss was a narcissist and a micro-manager so it was a bit of a nightmare working there anyway. It has also freed me up to look at the direction my life is taking and make some positive steps into the future.
Positive step #1. I just got given the opportunity to direct Brecht's 'The Exception and the Rule'. So exciting in many ways. Firstly, I haven't directed anything this year, so this is a great opportunity to get back on the horse as they say. It is a really exciting play. Strong, political, polemic writing very suited to my rather outspoken political views. Really relevant to the times we are living in with Abbott as Prime Minister too! I have some great ideas and am looking forward to realising them.
Positive step #2. I have applied for a year long artistic residency at Victoria University. I have a plan to explore Vorticism next year, and how it might be applied to performance making. I am going to do it on my own anyway, but if I can do it in a supportive environment and with free studio access all the better!
So, as you can see, I have bright hopes for 2014 and the year is going to start with a bang. Superb!
