2022 has
been good year for watching amazing theatre, particularly at Bristol Old Vic. Also keeping my script Age Queer ticking
over around my networks, including the Old Vic where it reached the second
round of the Ferment (new work) commissioning process for further
development. At the time of writing this
I plan to submit Age Queer for two imminent competitions, maybe with a change of title (or not)!
Thinking of
changing titles, I’ll be moving away
from Ageing and Ageism to develop new work
throughout 2023. Throughout the last few
months of 2022 I started work on two new projects: Euro Gothic – this an expansion of my
early iterations of The Overcoat. I performed some of this at a
fundraiser we held in December for Travelling Light Theatre / Big Give
Challenge and will be considering its potential as a solo show.
Second up is
Holiday Haunts for which I have been doing extensive research. My source material is a battered, foxed
copy of Great Western Railway’s Holiday Haunts Guide 1923. I’m hoping to pitch this historical artefact as a springboard for a
community performing/applied arts project by the end of January 2023.
With this in
mind I intend to wind up my New Wave Ageing blog and transfer detail worth
keeping to a more professional Jo Cross website, fingers crossed. New Wage
Ageing has been a great exercise but it has served more as an aide memoire than
anything else. Nevertheless I'm proud of some of the blogs I've written, particularly those I wrote at the outset and during Lockdown and plan to condense them
So I’m
hoping to attach a link to my website by the time the daffodils outside my
house here in Redfield, Bristol start to bloom.
Big love,
big hugs.
