2012 has been set aside as a 'development' year - after a busy 2011 with two major play productions and many other arts collaborations, I'm going to take some time to sit out and write! This is not to say I won't still be active: I am working on a number of writing projects, have collaborations on a gentle simmer and intend to remain involved in the Auckland arts scene. In 2012, so far I have scheduled a season of my play The First Asian AB at the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival (Feb) and a set of writing workshops for migrant women funded by Auckland City Council (March).
