RE: Where are my pigs?

Dear Pig Fairy,

First, let me set out what an ardent admirer of your work I am. You have produced pigs of spectacular beauty and charm.…

For over a year Leftwing Idiot and I have been working with the Tate Schools and Teachers team to create We Forgot The Lot!, a huge event for children and young people with Tourettes and associated conditions. It finally happened on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing!…

If you search online for ‘Tourettes Theatre’, many of the top results are articles about people being asked to leave theatres or sit somewhere else because they’ve got Tourettes – something I’ve had first-hand experience of.

I love the theatre, but for many years I was put off going for fear of negative reactions to my tics.…

Wow! What else can I say? Today Tate Britain was completely transformed!
Hundreds of people, some with and some without Tourettes came together to get creative, socialise and reinvent the Gallery spaces as part of We Forgot The Lot! – our big inclusive event for children and young people.…

This’ll be a short post because Leftwing Idiot and I are about to head to Tate Britain to make the final preparations for We Forgot The Lot!

We’re not the only ones working flat out to make sure nothing does get forgotten and that tomorrow’s a truly amazing day for everyone who takes part.…

In a few days time hundreds of people will be heading to Tate Britain for We Forgot The Lot (WFTL), an inclusive arts event for children with and without Tourettes.

I’ve been hit by a huge wave of excitement – after almost a year of planning I can hardly believe it’s now so close.…

In one week’s time we’ll be launching a big Kickstarter appeal to take Backstage in Biscuit Land to the Fringe Festival.

We’ve been successful in getting an Unlimited award for the show, but this is just to help us with initial research and development, not to cover the costs of production, or taking it to Edinburgh.…

I’ve written before about ‘Backstage In Biscuit Land’, the show we’re putting on at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year. Now I’m delighted to announce that we’re going to be supported by a grant from Unlimited. This means we’ll be part of a programme run by two creative organisations, Shape and Artsadmin, who commission and develop new work by disabled artists.…

Happy April Fools Day! But before the annual antics begin I need your attention for a minute.

There are just twelve days to go until We Forgot The Lot!, and for the Touretteshero team that means there’s no time to fool about.…

We Forgot The Lot!, our big inclusive event at Tate Britain on April 12th, is fast approaching. I’m delighted to announce that thanks to the generosity of children’s charity Daytrippers there will be four buses to and from the event from outside London.…
