Email to Raph (Dawa)

An email I just wrote to my friend Raph in France.

At the moment I feel lost in the size of the world. I too have made a list of people to work with and you are on that list. Scattered Tacks has one big show next year. I found some funding to put it on at north melbourne town hall in an independent 6 night season.

Not sure whats next though. Think I'll make a few new things.

I'm drinking again. I constantly have a few beers every day. Must feel like I deserve it, or maybe just to relax a little. I'm a manic head sometimes. Oh and I'm single. I did meet this girl who I like but she went away for a few weeks. And I’m stuck in an ambiguity. I'm still writing music. It's dried up romanitc stuff. I would like to do a show with Ivan soon called mothballs. It'll be a very strange show. Ivan will control lots of puppets of moths and i want to break lots of glass in it.
I'm still trying to be good at circus but most my interest is in learning skills which are useless and impractical. I'm disappointed with how my recent works have been received. They push ideas I think are important but people don't see the new ideas - they only see how the old ideas are absent (this isn't always the case, but still).
I'm working towards a more freeform style of show without any acts at all, and with hardly any moments the audience can grab onto as something impressive. I more want to hate fuck them, then corress them into a beautiful fantasy.
I would like to invent some new apparatus too. Ivan's thinking of doing his manipulation research lab. Which would be fun to do. He want's to come overseas with it. maybe you can join!

I'm a little lost (but excited about it) - out of clues for now. Are you enjoying your school lots?

Moving out of Studio

Moving out of my studio this month. Pulling it apart is like sorting through parts of myself. Come visit my new haus in northcote and we can have tea! Skye

Bye bye Brisbane

Things i wish I could keep from Brisbane:

• Staying in so many beds and couches.
• Late night drinking with new faces.
• Morning tea and coffee on lofty balconies writing things in my notebook.
• Walking around late at night for hours completely lost.
• So many beautiful peoples.
• Getting in trouble.
• Laying outside a seven eleven at 1am unable to move.
