It's midday. I am sitting at my desk in Adelaide and I'm about to start writing a huge array of postcards to people all over the world who wanted one (via twitter/fb and my website) - If you want one, contact me via my 'contact' section on this website.
It's surreal and wonderful to realise how much support I have and it means loads to get the emails and facebook messages from those who have enjoyed my shows. It feels awesome to know there are so many shark loving feminist nerds out there!
Only just into the third month of 2015 I cannot believe how lucky I have been this year - to not only be on the other side of the world, but to be here performing work that I love and being able to see work that influences and inspires me, getting to meet such a broad group of people creating interesting work. At 23 years of age I am working hard doing what I love and it's overwhelming.
HOWEVER I wouldn't be in Adelaide if it wasn't for so many people. Crucially those who supported my Crowdfunder campaign on Ideastap - who, without their pledges, I would not be able to enjoy Australia and create the dream show that I feel like I have now created. Your support has not only helped with the financial stresses of creating a show but it has also given me so much confidence.
So, in no particular order, thank you so much to the following people who funded my campagin to cover my funds to perform in Australia. You have made a 6ft ginger performance maker so very happy:
