Ladies and gentlemen, I have been away on an artist’s residency in a beautiful hillside fairy land called Noepoli. The artist’s residency is called, ‘Palazzorinaldi,’ and I really recommend it. Although I also selfishly want to keep it a secret so I can go there as the sole guest and be treated like a [...]
last night in la catedral was truly beautiful.. a great spot for exploring the art of performance.. i finished the night asking some other artists up to join me… the audience clapped and stamped their feet – and we had a mini cabaret revolution.. preparation for the big one. have to get the proposal in [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, so much to do, have wonderful new producer to help, sat with him and conspired in Dalkey last night. There was an electricity cut so we talked in candlelight – quite magical… I always sense wonder in the air when I meet a new artist to take part in the process. Keith [...]

Hello ladies and gentlemen, It was such a magical gig… I am relieved and relaxed now it’s over. The build up to it was ‘charged,’ but also hot to boiling point – in terms of tension and anxiety… The meditation and grounding techniques are a great help – but my humanity is stretched to its [...]
Rehearsals are going great – couldn’t be better!!! So so so – dynamic, charged and beautifully creative!! See home page for details of show and documentary! Talk soon, Rose xxx
