If you missed it, Don gives a beautiful evocative description of the @QuietMusicEns performance - "I found it quite astonishing, and I left the venue slightly dazed, feeling as if I had fallen up a staircase" - including my piece with guest @laurasampson, Aioi.

Doing this course (without enough experience!) was a baptism of fire - but also my gateway drug to performance storytelling … years later I’m still processing some of the amazing stuff I learned on it … if you’re serious about story don’t miss it! 🤯💗☄️🤩
