Theatre Company - 2022
“Late To The Party… but arriving with something special”
Late To The Party
* is not fitting in
* gathers up all the failures that came before it
* is for those who have been forced to pause
* is crashing and burning out and getting up again
* is getting up again
* is getting up again
* is picking up the pieces and examining them
* is recovery in action
* is the journey not the destination
* is when every step is momentous
* is finding the moments of comfort outside the comfort zone
* is for finding ways to make work and share it even when it doesn’t fit in
* is about what works for you
* is in pain
* is a storm
* is vulnerability being strength
* is for those who feel left behind
* and those who’ve had to take the time to find themselves
* is trying to do better
* is lying down, buzzing with ideas, when you can’t stand up
* is living / striving / thriving through chronic illness and mental ill health
* is when you want to get up and you want to get up but you can’t
* is making a change
* is trying again
* is not always knowing
* is not completely understanding
* is getting distracted
* but always coming back to that thrum in your soul
* is when you’re feeling that you should have done better in your 20’s
* and for when being in your 30’s feels too late
* is knowing that things always take longer than you want them to
* is knowing that shows, people and things take their time
* is learning to ride a bike at 32
* is for waiting
* is for waiting for
* is for waiting for the right time
* is incubating ideas instead of rushing
* is always coming back to the love of the craft
* is trying new things
* is trying old things again
* is for those who don’t want a name
* is for those who don’t need a label
* is for those always catching up
* is seeing everyone ahead but seeing the things they’ve missed
* is showing up, eventually
* is feeling / thinking / writing/ making / sharing
* is the moment just as you open the door and peer inside
* is knowing what works for you
*Late To The Party* but arriving with something special
