Tob Tob Dance
Tob Tob Dance I am building a 25 foot tree for Much Ado about Nothing and there has been a few comments about the manufacture of this tree. One through line goes like this; cut down a tree to get the wood to mash up into bits of wood and reassemble to make a tree for the stage.

Malu Fa'afafine.
Titled: Malu Fa’afafine: Hi love, and welcome back to my Part Two of my Body Art series. It’s a bit strange that I was able to reflect on a few dark areas of my life in terms of coping with growing up in a world that is in favour of patriarchy. That’s something I haven’t had the chance to do and it gave me an opportunity to be vulnerable in sharing things that have been extremely personal to me. This is all privileged information that now is accessible online, exclusively on the vocal platform. If you haven’t read my part one make sure to do so because in this section I’ma go over the current demons I have to fight and in a sense break down specific barriers via social media.

Living in the UK - Why do I love it?
Hi everyone, if you know me, you might know that I have moved from France to the UK for the first time about 4 years ago. And I love it. I moved back to France for a little bit in between, but nothing could take me away from the UK and I had to move back there. I just love it here. Just so you know, I don't live in London but in Kent (about 45 minutes train to central London). Here are all the things that I love about living in here and why I can't imagine living somewhere else - At least for a while.

What's the Czech Republic like to live in?
Of course Prague (the capital) is beautiful and everyone is always putting a lot of effort into making your stay here amazing but what is it like for the Czechs? Let's start with the thing yo might have noticed when if you ever visited - people here are so nice and welcoming - WRONG! They are welcoming because you are from a different country and tourism is what they live off of. It isn't the same in every city though because the further you get from Prague the more you can start noticing how inconsiderate people here really can be even as a foreigner.

Eating Portugal
On September 7th, 2019, my husband and I tied the knot on a small hill in the middle of nowhere, Canada. While that day was truly magical in every aspect: love, food and cost - the true celebration came three months later on our December honeymoon in Portugal.
