writer: I came to the Factory having written this blog - an account of the first Hamlet I saw. At that time I did not consider myself a writer. Since then, because of opportunities offered by the Factory - I am a writer and an actor and no, I see no difference. I had previously believed it was a matter of making a choice between the two but in this environment it has been possible to be both, and quite naturally. To me, the two roles are inseperable. I have become a bit of a pathological blogger for the Factory - that widget just there up on the left is my blog. The blog is a portfolio of short things I write about making stuff, like Art. These appear in our very funky weekly Word Thing (a members' newsletter.) The rest are here - listed below. At the Factory I have learned that writing is how I think and a medium in which I do not feel I have anything to prove. For the very keen, here are some of my blogs: (one day when I have time I will order and introduce these properly - sorry for now...)

I'm sorry only some of those are links and the list isn't even complete - but I am busy... don't even ask me to start on these guys:    I also wrote a number of pieces for Round One (the Factory's first foray into New Writing) and I am currently working on a couple of unfinished full-length pieces. This is one. And this is another one. And i have a piece in our Daring Pairings project - a New Writing collaboration with Hampstead Theatre. I am the New Writing Associate here at the Factory. What is that? It is probably NOT the dramaturg or the literary manager. So I am Not The Dramaturg or the Literary Manager. I just like to encourage people to write and to write with actors and for actors to have some taste of what it is like to entrust your writing to someone else - like an actor. I want to see the Factory offer for writers what it currently offers for actors and we are taking exciting strides towards that thing. Whatever it may finally look like. I want writers to enjoy the company of actors as they write. _______________ finally: This wiki is one of the most powerful tools we have. This space encapsulates the spirit of the Factory - it is free, there are no rules, it attracts without advertising or evangelising - it is finally a space to work out thoughts, before they are fleshy and incorrigible, without fear or judgement. It is where I have learned to write freely and passionately about what I love, for people I love, without having to look over my shoulder. There can be no better training in art. It is just one of the mysterious ways in which the Factory Thing creeps into your Life and gives it a good Goosing. Fed
