Tigger Blaize — My news
May 2012
After a lovely Easter break, we're back on tour with Vamos Theatre's Olympic Games-inspired full mask production, "Much Ado About Wenlock". This month you can catch us at Oakengates in Telford, Cheltenham Playhouse, Northcott Theatre in Exeter, Millfield Arts Centre in Edmonton, and the brilliant Brighton Festival Fringe, which I'm especially looking forward to.
I am poised to attend the annual Equity ARC Conference in Birmingham at the end of the month, where I'll be representing my branch. It looks like it's shaped up to be a lively conference with discussion on restructuring the Union, equality, new media platforms and the Olympic Games. I'm really looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making history!
I'm still hoping to go to Guernsey and deliver some "FIT" anti-homophobic bullying workshops in the schools before the end of the summer term. "FIT" is the film I did in 2009, funded by the gay rights charity Stonewall, and available as a DVD in all secondary schools. Fingers crossed I'll be able to make some time for them.

I am now on two weeks Easter break from Vamos Theatre Company's "Much Ado About Wenlock". It's been an intense 6 weeks, with lots of shows, lots of driving and NO SUGAR! I've given up sugar for Lent, like a fool, but it's soon to be Easter Sunday and a mega SUGAR feast awaits...
I have discovered this on the Barrow-in-Furness Evening News, which is coverage of a workshop I led at the sixth form college there. Amazing what you find when you're browsing!
After Easter the show will be at The Unity, Liverpool; Brecon Theatre, and some more rural touring in Worcester. But first, a well earned break.

Spring is in the air! All over the country I notice crocuses and daffodils on the roadside as I travel about on tour with Vamos Theatre's full mask production, "Much Ado About Wenlock", about the birth of the Modern Olympics in 1850. This month we're visiting theatres and village halls in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. If you're in the area, come and see us. The tour schedule details all the dates and times.
We have had a couple of reviews — The Stage Newspaper, at Lavenham Village Hall, Suffolk, and The East Anglian Daily Times at The Granary Theatre, Wells-Next-The-Sea. Good reviews and lots of happy customers!
I've given up sugar for Lent, and this means no more afternoon teas until Easter. AAAaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! However, here's my last tea and cakes review before it was all taken away from me on Ash Wednesday....
