#bts for Easter with a little gag I couldn’t quite fit into my @edfringe announcement reel. In 2010, a new English translation of the Roman Missal was brought in, and the correct response to ‘the Lord be with you’ became ‘and with your spirit’, rather than the long-standing ‘and also with you.’ This, according to my extensive research, still frequently trips up many, many Catholics who grew up in the Church prior to that. This followed a 2001 Vatican instruction, the Liturgiam Authenticam, the reasoning being that it more closely reflects the Latin ‘et cvm spirito tuo’ - see! Things can change! 🥴 Consensus on the correct response to ‘may the Force be with you always’, however, is overwhelmingly still ‘and also with you.’ When I tell you that Daniel Day Lewis hasn’t researched a role the way I have this one… Come see CVNTCLAVE at the Edinburgh Fringe in August, and before that @camdenpeoplestheatre May 6th - you know where to go for tickets x . . . #edfringe #mixitup

My time as a @cripticarts Reach artist was a total game changer. The friendship and support shown by the CRIPtic team when I was on the 2024 programme was a real turning point in my career and a shining example (and reminder to self) of how you can still make work and look after yourself and others. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to make the work I needed to make back then, which I can now reveal is to be the third and final show in the CVNT Trilogy, a triptych of solo shows exploring the institutions which shape this funny world we find ourselves in. CVNTCLAVE is the first in the trilogy, and will be the focus for the next year or so. And as I throw myself into that universe I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking and acknowledging the foundations, and CRIPtic Arts is a big part of it whether they know it or not lol Thank you @jamierhale for believing in my work and changing my whole life, thank you @wakely for your unending support, and thank you @nicolamileswild for being the best, most compassionate dramaturg and facilitator one could ever ask for ❤️ I also couldn’t have asked for a lovelier, kinder cohort of fellow artists, you are all so talented and I feel so lucky I got to make work amongst you 😭 Here are some photos from our residential - it was such a special time. 📸 cheers @megterzza Two-year delay in posting, I’m really outdoing myself. Hence long caption time ig
