..And then to New York

  I'm staying in the centre of the world for a few days for the American leg of our Awakening conference. Was great to arrive in the middle of a mild blizzard earlier this week and have spent the week seeing the sights and catching up with friends and a few colleagues too. The photo above was taken in Central Park just near the theatre we're in later this week.
  I had the pleasure of seeing Equus last night which was an oustanding piece of theatre... and as usual David Hersey's design was inspiring, refined and supported the action below perfectly. It closes in a fortnight so I was really lucky to get in.
  This weekend's conference at the Kaye Playhouse is going to be huge - it's already nearly sold out with the organisers expecting hundreds of walk-ups. On Monday though I'm only slightly looking forward to swapping the -8 degree temperatures here for Sydney's 35 degree heat.
  It's been great traveling so much already this year and I'm looking forward to doing lots more.

This year the Peace Train journey continues and will tour through Tasmania, Regional NSW, Sydney and Adelaide. This dynamic show tells the story of Cat Stevens life and his rise to fame and spiritual journey. 
As recently appointed Production Manager as well as Lighting Designer I'm spending alot of time in January preparing for the tours ahead. Look out for updates as the year goes on.

Awake in London

  I'm in London this week for the Awakening Conference at the Mermaid Theatre. After a weekend of sessions in the Mermaid Theatre the conference team and I are off to New York on Monday morning ready for next weekend's events there.
  We're touring twenty custom-made LED hearts that work in with the conference's logo that have been hung randomly around the theatre.
  It's not ridiculously cold but I've got a feeling all that will change in Manhattan next week!

It's Cold

The year is just starting to heat up ...well for some of us. This week sees Richard in London and then New York in near freezing conditions. Luckily he has a warm heart (or many) to keep him warm. Watch out for the news article about his trip. Look for the hearts. I am heading off to Seoul next week to snuggle up to Cats for a bit as they start their Korean tour. It has been snowing in Seoul. Just snow in a weeks time too. Once winter ends in the Northern Hemisphere it's full on with projects in many parts of Asia and the region, plus Australia ofcourse. Maybe I will have my own endless summer.... or do I prefer Winter/Summer/Winter/Summer/etc all in the space of a month? Ah the sun has come out here....how nice. Till later GY
