Only Water Productions
Taylor Stephenson, a good friend of mine from university, has written a script for television, a comedy-drama series called Behind Bars. Taylor, myself and the two Georginas (G. Strawson and G. Edwards) wrote a business plan, and we are currently shortlisted for a £10, 000 award from Deutshce Bank to shoot three webisodes and launch an extended online presence, with the aim of building up an audience and strengthening our eventual pitch to the TV Networks. The pitch is on the 9th June this year, so stay tuned!
London Arts Orchestra
The London Arts Orchestra is a new ensemble featuring musicians from London’s conservatoires in collaboration with artists, dancers, singers, actors, and dramatists. As the compere / resident actor, you will find me reading poetry, performing scenes from plays, becoming Beethoven, Bach or Stravinsky (with a funny Russian accent), or simply welcoming the audience to the concert and telling them where the loos are. The orchestra itself always blows me away, and I consider myself very lucky to be a part of something so magnificent.
Crave presents Hoodoo
At university my friends and I ran a rave in a cave on the University campus called Crave (see what we did there!). It started as a going away party for a friend from hall called Raj who was going back to America after a semester abroad. We all had so much fun that we decided to hold the party again, and again, and again, and it just got bigger and bigger and bigge… Hoodoo was best described as ‘taking the vibe inside’ and was a chance for us to book big international DJ superstars whilst preserving the Crave spirit and atmosphere. We are all in two minds as to whether we’re going to run another Hoodoo (Crave is definitely finished for us, although others are now running the party), so watch this space, or for more info please check out hoodoogrooves.com.
