Workshop Me Looking at You Looking at Me, Creation and Facilitation
Me Looking at You Looking at Me" is a workshop designed for those who want to connect with how or what they desire to express artistically. In order to express and share artistically, we must first allow ourselves to be seen, both by ourselves and perhaps eventually by others, as people who want to create—be it a theatre piece, a recipe book, a dress, an exhibition, or anything else.
What are the steps involved in this process? Each individual's journey is unique, and this workshop is about learning to listen and sense into what those steps might be for you. Through the use of simple performative tools, participants will embark on a playful and in-depth journey that allows them to feel where they stand within their creative longings. These longings may be connected with performing but also extend to other art forms. It welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, whether they are seasoned artists who might feel trapped in a specific identity or shy shower singers who desire to take a step further into the open.

Residency for Some Things Need to be Danced at Het Verbond, Frascati Amsterdam with Jethro Cooke and Fleur van den Berg.
During this residency, I continued where I had left off last December with the performance *Lover's Manifesto*. Over these weeks, the piece gradually evolved into something less theatrical and more akin to a blend of performance and intimate dinner gathering, where audience and performers could engage in conversation about love, lovers and relationships.

Co-facilitated two workshops, spearheaded by Stephanie Bonnici called Stories for Hope.

Supporting Melyn Chow with her research around prayer, play and collective communion with god. We both deeply contemplate the nature of god—what god is, how god lives, and how we are both seeking god. Our answers are ever-changing, but this ongoing dialogue has been a constant in our lives. This research took place at Frascati with Sjaid Fonce.

Module Projectaanvraag - AHK with Lucy Walvisch
Collaborated with a third-year student from the OPP production department at AHK to develop a project idea for their Module Project Application. Together, we worked on integrating my artistic vision with their developing expertise in project planning, including shaping the concept, finding locations, and building a plan for distribution and audience engagement. Getting to know Lucy was a joy.

Trying out my words as spoken word art. Recording songs in Maltese.
-
Gave love to my CV.
-
Made a new theatre showreel that you can see HERE. I am fascinated with how much beauty I can see in my performing/made work after it's done and I have some distance and how in the process I often feel a current of lack, not-enoughness and judgement in rehearsal.
-
Writing about love, loving, what it means to be a lover, the practice of loving, what staying and going means/can mean in the context of love and how there seems to be a hierarchy that dominates our way of thinking (mine at least). Writing about power and what my work of empowerment can feel like. Dressing up? Humour as a resource? Writing about how I value movement more than writing. Even there there is a fucking hierarchy in my head.

Rehearsing for the Theater Performance Crispr:
It might seem far away, but it’s closer than ever. We are now able to change the genetic code of body cells, bacteria, viruses and plants. With the CRISPR-cas9 technology we can adjust the properties of any organism to our liking. A revolutionary development that will have major consequences for humans, plants and animals. The performance CRISPR zooms in on the children born after using these ‘genetic scissors’. How does the relationship to our body change when we view ourselves and nature as something we can readjust and regulate?

Some stuff is, some by other souls. The latter then, is a written manifesto on how I would like to design my life.
