This thread and replies are a fascinating insight into why great care has to be taken with mental health therapies. Asking people to talk about their problems is one thing, but deep-dives into the subconscious are quite another, especially when past trauma is involved. /2

The Mayoral Election will be extremely close.

Last time there was only 5% between Labour and the Tories.

Please consider your vote carefully. Please vote for Sadiq Khan on 2nd May

Do you like interactive immersive opera (like I make with Virtually Opera)?

Would you like the chance to hear me talk about it in an academic context (such as Guildhall School of Music & Drama)?

Then why not watch my glamorous return to GSMD to try and explain it? working on since.

Very much looking forward to the first performance of 'From Tulip, to Orchid (with love)! We have a cracking team for this production including Rosie Middleton who is sounding fab in rehearsals. Thursday, Eastside Projects, 6:30 and 8:30pm!

Incredibly excited that 'From Tulip, to Orchid (With Love)' premiers THIS THURSDAY (6.30pm and 8.30pm) with Birmingham Opera Company !!

💥Starmer: 'Tories think working people don't need culture... That's why the Tory 'culture wars' always end up as a war on culture. The arts shouldn't tell working class kids to know their place. They should help them find their place in the world, find truth and meaning.' ~AA

If you need any freelance arts writing doing, I can guarantee to follow your brief and submit ahead of deadline. Recently commissioned by BBC Music Magazine, Engelsberg Ideas, The Critic, Limelight, Opera Holland Park, London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Opera House, ABAO Bilbao Opera

Really looking forward to this new work with Birmingham Opera Company later this month. Beautiful music and text by Michael Taplin and Gareth Mattey, exploring coded language between queer women in the Victorian era.
