Website update?!

Thought it high time I updated my "proper" website, mostly info on STAN.
Here's the link.

Three down, one to go.

Last day in Kristiansand. Despite numerous technical difficulties (Markus, my dear friend and technician on this tour was a fuckin mega-star, cheers mate) both shows of STAN and last night's first show of Mr Magic were a frickin triumph. All the magic last night went flawlessly, and the audience was thrilled and amazed. Call me an old fashioned theatre whore, but there ain't nothing like a good ol' standing ovation.

All the local techies were great - thanks Jamal for your work and spirit. Special big shout out to Ruben, a student at the theatre school here who came to see both shows and said I "Blew his mind", and he would "Follow me anywhere to see more of my work." He also said that since seeing STAN he has written five poems about it. I wanna read your poems, Ruben! I want to touch, move and transform people with my work, and hearing reactions like yours make all the hard work and pushing (way) past my limits worth it.

Also big shout out to Nora, the wife of the director of the festival here. You ROCK and I had the best time dancing with you to the Beatles cover band the other night

Last show here tonight, then back to Amsterdam to lay in bed and watch telly for a week. Hopefully my wonderful girlfriend isn't too busy to lay next to me sometimes.

Planning a table puppet show for my next production, in which I'm sat down for the whole thing - getting too old for all this running around on stage malarkey!

Keep ya posted.

LOVEjim
