One of the things I love most about my job as a performer, is getting to have an impact on the lives of people in the audience. I got the most charming email the other day, after my shows at The Victorian Arts Centre:
Hi Asphyxia.
I took our 6 year old Roby to your show "Mortimer Revealed" last Sat afternoon at the Arts Centre and afterward he looked at your sets and asked me to buy your book. In the car home, he studied your book. On Monday afternoon, when I picked him up from after school care the girls told me that he had made puppet characters, two bad wizards and snow leopards that afternoon there and performed an impromptu puppet show for the 15 kids in after school care ! I just love the fact that he obviously took in your show and that it implanted the seed of inspiration for him to make and perform it himself! Thank you and well done on such a lovely show! We didn't get to see "Hatched" so would love to see it if you do another run again in Melbourne.
Cheers & Many Thanks,
Sharon and Roby

The Grimstones

Buy my books about The Grimstones: Hatched, Mortimer Revealed, and the Artist's Journal. Also available: postcards and CDs. - The Grimstones
The Grimstones is a gothic fairytale about a girl who can read dreams, a baby boy with three legs, a mother who sew garments lined with warmth and joy, and a grandfather who heals people with his magical concoctions. I created The Grimstones as a marionette performance, and now it's a book series too.
