How, What, Where and When? with Keren David, on 'The Disconnect'.
22 May 2019 • author interview, bookish, how what where when, Keren David, The Disconnect
I
am delighted to have Keren
David appearing
in my (still sort-of new) series, How
What Where and When!
In this post, the queen herself will be answering my Qs on
her new Barrington Stoke book, ‘The Disconnect’!
'The
Disconnect' is about Esther and her peers accepting a challenge
to go without their mobile phones for 6 weeks, with the promise of
cash and a job at the end of it – I mean, is there a downside to
that…?
Hey,
angelic Keren! Thank you so much for being part of this series.
Hi
lovely Grace! Thank you so much for asking me to do this.
Mental Health Awareness Week, 2019; a peek inside my head.
18 May 2019 • body image, body love, mental health, mental health awareness, mental health awareness week, mental health foundation
Back
when I was at sixth form college – around the time this blog
started, because I was bored between lessons and had a lot of
FEELINGS
that needed to be expelled – we did this
exercise in A Level Drama called ‘automatic writing’. This
involved us sitting (or more likely, lying) down on the floor of the
black box theatre and just scrawling non-stop in our notebooks or on
scraps of script we were meant to be learning, either as ourselves or
as characters. We’d tap into our own internal monologues, pull
them out and onto a page; it helped us get more in touch with the people
we were playing in our upcoming performances, or just get out
of our own minds in a time when it felt like all the pressure
was on us to do well, get good grades and make our families proud,
blah blah blah.
Well,
for the past few days I’ve been trying to conjure up a post for
Mental Health Awareness Week, and I’ve realised the only way I can
write honestly and without fear is if I do it, hilariously enough,
without thinking too hard. So you’re about to read my automatic
writing. Enjoy – I hope it helps some of you, somehow…
School of Rock, the Musical; a review.
14 May 2019 • gracie gets dramatic, School of Rock, theatre review, west end
– Tickets
to this show were given to me in exchange for a review. –
I
was lucky enough to finally see
‘School of Rock’ last night at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, in
London. I’d been meaning to for a while, but something always
stopped me – maybe it was the fact that I loved the film so much
when I was a teen, I couldn’t possibly see it done any other way?
Fortunately (spoiler alert), I did enjoy this show.
(We were allowed to take photos/videos during the final song. Cool, eh?)
