This week will see the premier of 4 Seasons, we have five groups coming to participate, we have some schools some groups and day centres.

Making Theatre are seeing it tomorrow and will participate, they have helped us devise it and have been willing victims… I mean volunteers!  We are watching their performance of I am the World tomorrow which they tour next week.

We have been working on 4 Seasons since Christmas so it has been 6 months in the making.  It uses all the technology so both the equipment, and Dave our ‘Techie’ will be put through their paces this week.

I (Ed) will only get to be part of 4 Seasons for one day as then I am going to Manchester to record a play for BBC Radio 4.

It’s the third radio play I have done in the last 18 months.  I love doing radio plays as the turnaround is so quick.  You record it, they edit it then 3 – 4 weeks later it’s on.

Next week Acting Company will be without Rio and Emma as we will be doing a full week of workshops with Artworks.  The whole week is called Ignite we will be doing workshops on Rap, Conflict Resolution, African Drumming and Evaluation skills – so quite a mix!  We have worked with some of the workshop leaders from Artworks before when they have been and done shorter sessions here.

The week after that we have 2 extra days off - because we will have worked so hard we’ll deserve it!
