Wow what a fabulously, wonderful, fantazamagic year it was!!
whats on your list to see in 2009?
At the moment, Spill festival is top on my list! And the Mime Festival which is going on now.
The Dance programme at the South Bank Centre for the coming months is very appealing! Time to start booking places (Thank God for pay day on Monday)!
i too am excited about the Spill platform that is launched this year....anyone applying?
