Update 6/7/24 on Crowd funding and Grant application - I got it! Wow, so amazing! So that means I can cover my costs while away. I am so happy and so overjoyed 🔥🎉👌😃
Also, I have received almost 3000 in total from crowd funding from organic donors. This is just amazing! Thank you! Thank you! I am so grateful! 😘🙏❤️👏🕺
I have done redone my budget and it looks like I have just enough after paying for my flights and accomodation and courses - with about 100 euro per week in living costs - I am even! This is awesome! Thank you! I've even already paid my friend for storage and that means I still have my gear for events and a car when I get back to come back easy to my base in the South-West!
I am so very pleased and grateful, thank you all so much!
I have just finished my paint job in Freo which was also house sitting - now I'm bunkering down and doing a week in the car while in Perth to save on cash and will pay one last week with a friend before I go a few things considering.
You've heard of tiny desk concerts? Well, I've worked out how to practice Kemence in this little car - I might just give you a tiny car concert... hahaha
If I play with Cretan Lyra playing style - that is leaning the Kemence on the leg and then swiveling it - so I don't need swinging room for the bow - I can do it! I'm so glad I figured it out. Also, this is a really good technique to have.
It's just awesome when limitation forces us to learn new things. ✊❤️
I visited reclaim the void at the Museum in Perth today and played some Sarangi for them in Hackett hall while they wove together some beautiful dreams.
What an amazing initiative! All the people involved and the director Vivienne - it's such a massive project, it's brought together so many people!
Wish me luck for the next week! Will give you a video update and thank you in person (well as personable as a video gets) when I am in a home and after the Sema on the 13th. Come along to the Sema (whirling dervish meditation) with Veetrag - she will provide instruction and I will give some music for you to fall into the endless spiral that governs this wonderful universe!
