I'm still working away but it's nearly there! And Id love it if you could join me to celebrate at the opening or drop in to the show over the next 5 weeks! Thanks so much to the wonderful @its.cctime for the poster! 😘😘😘

That's it, it's FINISHED! Thanks to all the performers for bringing so much of themselves to the work. and everyone who came along to witnessed the performances and listen to the soundscape.
