Stitches
What would you wear to your own funeral?
In my sixth solo show, I’m trying something new: finishing a new dress at each performance. And not just any dress, the dress I'll wear to my funeral. (Don’t worry, there's nothing's wrong, I'm just being prepared--if I leave it to my family they might send me off to the afterlife in something that doesn’t have pockets). A story about the way we piece our lives together bit by bit, told with the mix of laughs and poignancy you've come to expect.

I am grateful for a grant from Arts SA through the Arts Unlimited fund of the Adelaide Fringe. I love putting a new show together, but because I'm writer, performer and producer it can be pretty full on. I'm grateful for the feeling of stability and the confidence boost the grant provides.
