Welcome to the Dynamix newsletter I will be using this as a regular forum for ideas, with Feldenkrais awareness 'experiments' for you to try out, recommended books to pique your interest, and performance tips for singers and others. Your questions and comments are welcome. Do let me know if you would like to be on the mailing list to receive the newsletter by email. N.B. I am going to stick with female pronouns, in the interest of cosmic balance, and to give you boys a taste of an experience that women have from the moment they start to read. Dynamix #2 - June 2009 Where is the Summer? Things are grey and gloomy down here in Deptford, but there are some harbingers of summer to enjoy; the foxes are screaming, the trees are glorious, the birds sing away regardless of the hour, and the mosquitoes are already biting - oh the joys of living near the creek! Plus it is only a short walk to Greenwich where you can buy an ice cream, hang around by the riverside watching the river traffic go by, and feel just like a tourist.

How on earth do people manage to blog? To write so much and actually have a life to write about. I have been intending to produce this - only my second newsletter - for five years now. My various offices have been littered with half-started and half-finished pieces of prose on an array of different themes, and every so often I look up and "whoosh" another year has gone by. Those of you who joined my mailing list specifically requesting a newsletter must think I am a complete charlatan. Since that first newsletter in 2004 I have re-crossed the river and settled in south-east London, which I love. The Thames is not far away, Greenwich is full of tourists, and thanks to all the great colleges around here the area is a haven for musicians, actors, dancers and artists of all kinds. It feels very like my home town of Brighton - vibrant, exciting, and more than a tad grubby; living in north London always seemed a bit too much like living in Hove. I even had a couple of gigs in December - I hope to do a lot more performing this year, so watch this space...
