Surroundings Blog 5
June 17, 2019 - by Ivan RichesMy Facebook live interview wasn’t easy to keep going for 2 hours, particularly when answering online questions and responding to passing comments. But somehow it seemed to be successful, after trying to work out which way up to hold my iPad. A comic and rather embarrassing start to what turned ...
A Defiant Journey Emerges
June 13, 2019 - by Jo-anne CoxLast April I performed the first scratch of my show Defiant Journey at Stratford Circus Arts Centre.

Game Start

The year long funding application!
January 4, 2019 - by Jo-anne CoxWow! It took me a year to fundraise for my project. I received the good news but my reaction was not as expected. Yes I was pleased, but utterly drained by the whole process. Another few days for it to sink in and I was really happy and excited. Fundraising is ...
What’s in a label? A question of funding.
December 27, 2018 - by Aidan MoesbyI’m shooting from the hip on this one. I’m angry, frustrated, pi**ed off.
