 In rehearsal at 21 Shepherd. Image: Michelle St Anne I am feeling very blessed to have this rare opportunity to be Artist in Residence as part of the Living Room Theatre's Open Room program at 21 Shepherd St, Marrickville from November 2025 to March 2026. I am working closely with visionary theatre maker Michelle St Anne (artistic director of The Living Room Theatre) to apply her Composed Theatre methodology to the development of a new performance work Why You Not Eat. Through this process, we will expand the original 15 minute performance (initially created for Melaka Art and Performance Festival, Malaysia 2025) to a fully fledged theatre piece of 1 hour duration. This is new territory for my performance practice, expanding into using my voice and writing text. It is exhilarating to be learning and leaning into new creative modalities!
