Love that #Rollercoaster was the reason #KateKavanagh @BustingFree took a last minute to decision to come to @edfringe this year. We have a lot to thank the show for!

This is also at #EdFringe and comes highly recommended as a potential contender for the erstwhile @TotalTheatreNet Circus Award

It was my daughter's 11th birthday today. We went bowling, followed by desserts with her 3 best friends. A reminder that this photo represents what the UK is like for her and her friends, despite what the haters may want you to believe. – at Bromley, London
And also @Machinedecirque #GhostLight. Double win. Honourable mention to @WesPeden #Rollercoaster. Could sly in to a triple.
Can I put it out there that if #totaltheatreawards were running this year, #tweedysmassivecircus would (should!) win the circus category #EdFringe

Is it me, or have the #EdFringe offerings got a marked surreal streak this year?

Interesting: “A year into the pilot, artists receiving a weekly stipend are spending more time on their practice per week, less time working in other sectors and are suffering less from depression and anxiety” artsprofessional.co.uk/news/…
