I'm now in Yorkshire (I've been here for over a week now - how time flies!) and have settled into country living (and it's splendid). Everyday had been very busy though, as we've been doing project after project for visiting artists (we have a new one every one or two days). Over the past week, we've explored shadow puppetry with atmospheric filming; Theatre of the Absurd (creating a wonderfully surreal piece which incorporated a sombre, funeral type scene with &...

It's Tuesday and I've just finished the fourth day of my course. I had orientation on Saturday and Sunday, which gave me a chance to meet the other (very talented!) people in my course - there are 6 of us in total. I must say, it's been a bit of a creative roller coaster ride since then. Yesterday we met a visiting artist who presented us with a project she was working on, about a puppetry funeral (and all the tragedy/comedy that could entail). We did some puppet...

I've been in London for 4 days now - still no accent though! It wasn't nearly as cold as I thought it would be - definitely no snowmen around here (not that I'm complaining - any warmth is good!).

I'm staying with a couple of my brother's school friends in their flat at the moment. I've been given some spare keys and have decided to venture out a bit. I'll be going to a social event with Teaching Personnel (a supply teaching agency) tonig...

So it's my last night in Korea (I can barely believe it! Where did the time go?!) Tonight my aunty and uncle took me out for one last delicious meal before I part with this country. We had 'bo ssam', and the version we had included marinated pork, duck, octopus served with various kinds of kimchi (pear, radish and cabbage) and eaten with leaves of lettuce and raw cabbage. We sat at a 'floor table', which required us to first take off our shoes and sit on a heate...
