Jackdaw Theatre

I've been thinking lately about how much my work as an artist Bethan Dear...is fed, supported and sustained, by my friends, family and connections. I could never take the risks that I do, or push myself to the places that I want or need to go too, to do the work I want to do, without them. They are what fuel me, feed me, and catch me. And today I am feeling full of gratitude for all of the many, incredible and truly remarkable people I have in my life. What a gift it is, to be so loved and to love so many. The richest kind of abundance...I am also beginning to work on an idea for a new show that will be all about this; our connections and how much we need them and the people around us, our friends, family, and communities. So watch this space...for new work and new explorations this Summer. And in the meantime, what a great way to warm me up on the inside, on such a rainy WInters day...to look at all these great faces!
