I shall be doing the following things..........
As a mother and maker of performance I have been in a state of flux since November. Although this is only a short time ago as a performer this feels like years ago.
Right now live performance constructed on a stage involving lots of time spent in a studio and crafting something well feels very hard to imagine as a mother.

Gaining strength and struggling in equal measure as we navigate our way through this complex relationship together.
