Travel, Writing, Circus
I created my 'Ode to alt-J' routine ahead of the band's performance at the Riverstage in Brisbane in November 2022. I was supposed to go with my best friend Meg, but the show was postponed to April 2023. I performed the routine anyway, at HAPY's end-of-term student showcase night, as a tribute to my favourite band.
In the morning I read books for learning. The Right to Write by Julia Cameron is a creative writing book I HIGHLY recommend.

As we awaken to our chocolate eggs and bunnies, I thought it would be interesting to explore the many origins and traditions of this major holiday.
I was introduced to the term' Creative Non-Fiction' by my former mentor and fellow Australian author, Lee Scott. Up until then, I had been calling my first book a 'biographical novel'. Finally, I had a name for what I had been working on all these years.
I learned of the Dublin Writer's Museum during my first visit to Ireland in 2012. I could hardly believe it, a whole museum dedicated to writers!
Participating in the Brisbane St. Patrick's Day Parade continues to be a highlight of my experience as a performer. It has been an opportunity to combine my love of hula hooping with my affection for Ireland, and to share both with the world. This year, my performance was inspired by my life-changing experience of living in Ireland, travelling all over the country for twelve months.
In 2026, we will have two Friday the 13ths across two consecutive months. How lucky is that? Friday the 13th is widely considered an unlucky or 'spooky' day in Western culture, merging the fear of the number 13 (triskaidekaphobia) with the superstition that Friday is an unlucky day. It is largely a modern, rather than an ancient, cultural phenomenon.
