Motherhood

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. My two year old son is so amazing and developing so quickly. As am I;  a mother in the making. Gaining strength and struggling in equal measure as we navigate our way through this complex relationship together.

​SO WHAT NOW?

Creating performance work on stage will not work, feels morally wrong, could be fun, is too tiering.

PLAN?
Make work that captures motherhood in a natural environment. Studio space- rehearsal time- is all SO UNREALISTIC, My son is TWO and a bit and I AM VERY TIERED but also loving being a mumma! Its a taken two years to finally feel like I can say that out loud!

So my plan is to make video blog/performances and keep writing as a way to document and play with the idea of capturing motherhood and our developing relationship. To show the hard work that mothers/parents go through in their domestic lives. To re veal the boring bits and see if they can become magical! and used as a starting point for something more...
