I am in Saskatoon, Canada, teaching a puppetry intensive at the University of Saskatoon Drama Department.
While here I'm presenting three performances at the University Studio Theatre. These are pieces  exploring characters I am very familiar with, I continue to experiment with timing, approach and an alive communication between what is happening on stage and those who are in the audience.
After the first of these performance I wrote down some poetic reflections on doubt.

Doubt
little pieces
like a solid
pattern
before and after
rhythm
happens through this
antagonistic filter
eroding timing
and the freedom
allowing exists
doubt checked
then
exploit this
rock
they 
they 
they understand
feel
my transperancy
want ascendance
the ground
holds and this safety
for so long protective
from this floating
then sinking
whether success or failure
the same is the situation
here in front
let me 
allow them
share place
​together

The stage is a loaded space and place I find equally familiar and terrifying.
Every move I make is witnessed by the audience.
If I face my natural fear towards this exposure I can be playful and try different approaches.
My favourite stages allow me this freedom and one such venue is The Hive in Hackneywick, London.
On the 18th March I performed within a cabaret at The Hive and experimented with the delivery of hand puppetry, with four puppets familiar to me for many years.
I felt success and failure in equal measure.
