Sinopse

A play about the myths, ideas and realities of migration and identity in the twenty-first century.
Grazyna Antkiewicz lived.
Robert Dziekanski died.
Two people from Poland. One real, one imagined. What happened - or might have happened - between there and here? The distance from living the dream to waking up in a shared room in Scotland with mushrooms growing out of the carpet. From desperately missing your child to falling in love with a foreigner.
Cherry Blossom is a play by Catherine Grosvenor in collaboration with Lorne Campbell, Mark Grimmer and Leo Warner. It was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 2008.

    "The poem is controlled silence", wrote Milan Dekleva in his 1990s collection "Preseženi človek" (Out-lived man). This poetic paradox, that has existed from the very beginning of Dekleva's writings and persisted through the three and a half decades of his experimentation in various genres and linguistic situations (including not only fourteen books of poetry but also prose fiction, plays and essays) and indeed remains today, did not emerge from nothing.
    Dekleva's story is also the story of poetic modernity as it lurks within the metamorphosis of world and Slovenian literature. Dekleva's dialogue with modernity remains a creative conflict with his ancestors, the battle of the poet for self-recognition, for the word that will articulate the uniqueness of his world. What is central to Dekleva's texts – and this can only be said with the benefit of hindsight – also corresponds with the spatial-temporal coordinates of their emergence: with the conceptual-aesthetic, and perhaps even with the ideological-political, conditions of the decades following the Second World War, which is to say through the filter of the poet's individual reason, gaze, and desire. The transition from the 1960s to the 1970s was not only a period that marked the beginning of Dekleva's poetic formation, but also a period of turbulent social happenings, dramatic debates and actions. Dekleva is the poet of the "disenchanted world" and is thus linked to "the twilight of the idols" in which not even the Word of the poet, understood in the old metaphysical way, has been spared.

    Your entire family can enjoy listening to this preserved collection of my writings from 1968-1975, from 7th grade to just after high school. Some are poems, some songs, some just thoughts with a rhythmic pattern. I believe these early writings helped me to develop an appreciation for the beauty and inspirational power of the English language and positively impacted my later books and writings. While revisiting these, I observed my use of liberal literary license and an active imagination. As I traversed through these pieces, after four decades, I noticed progressive improvement in my writing as I grew up and continued to learn, play, and experiment with the English language. In order for you to observe this transition, I have presented the pieces in chronological order. The original work remains preserved, either in my own handwriting, or in the imperfect typeface of a very old ribbon typewriter. Despite factual inaccuracies in some pieces, I minimized editing to preserve the integrity of the original writing. I now make a living teaching, speaking, writing, voice acting and coaching others to achieve success through leadership and personal branding. I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to any conference and my quotes, interviews, and citations appear in countless media and professional publications.

    A series of surreal sketches, each prefaced by a doom-laden tabloid style headline, This Is A Chair is at once modern and postmodern, tragedy and farce, about all and about nothing.
    'Churchill, who constantly reinvents dramatic form, has come up with something compelling and strange: an intimate revue about the increasing surreality of modern life' - Guardian
    'creates a haunting impression of urban alienation, self-obsession and pre-millennial tension' - Daily Telegraph
