My favourite event of this year so far. Chaotic and drenched. Beautiful and uniting. On paper this would have been my idea of hell. Instead we rinsed it out at our demonic best...
Every day it rained, but then we were in my home country of Wales. Based on the Shakespeare's Tempest the telling of this epic story proved challenging to the sixty strong cast and crew with the continuous rain and technical difficulties. I feel the show wouldn't have happened without such a strong and inspiring team of people in the most beautiful of countryside at Penpont estate, who pulled together in magnificent fashion to make the show go on. I felt proud to be a part of Organised Kaos as the professionals and young people alike nailed every show despite the wet, treacherous conditions in the most logistically challenging show I've yet performed in. And every show had a large audience with a sell-out on the last evening. Boom.
This event was made by the fine selection of crew and performers. I loved getting to know every last talented one of them, from the crazy pyro guys, musicians initiating late night live songs to the actors, some of whom had an amazing ability to stream continuous... words from their mouth! Spending more time with Organised Kaos and the developing young people is always inspiring and watching the transfer of skills from person to person rocks my world. From my time at Circomedia I thought I lived for having every detail finely planned and executed, this week proved otherwise...
What's been your favourite event of this year so far and why?
