the orchestra tuning, red lights on the red main drape, the cast feeding off the audience energy, being close enough to see every facial expression. UGH god i love theatre

I just saw Otherland (w. Chris Bush, dir. Ann Yee) at the Almeida Theatre and I was a WRECK afterwards. Such a powerful portrayal of the struggles of the two lead women β one navigating coming out as trans to her wife, her family, and the world, and the other with divorcing her, having her own identity crisis, and struggling with having children β and so many bold decisions made in the storytelling and staging (particularly in the second act)!
I really don't want to spoil anything so all I'll say is that the set, despite being largely a plain stage, has a specific piece that will probably be one of the most memorable bits of theatre I've ever seen.
If you're in London do see if you can get tickets before it ends in March, although beware as it is quite heavy at times. I managed to get a very cheap under 25 ticket but I believe these are all sold out. You could try queueing for the Free performance night which I believe opens soon!

Itβs musical season, go to your local high schoolβs spring production. Support the arts without emptying your pockets. Some of these kids have pipes! I just saw little shop of horrors!

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
