Whitstable is not Sh!t

Hello from The Expansionists in Whitstable where we are on residency starting work on our new show Guinea Pigs On Trial.
Today we learnt to play the spoons, and last night we watched the 2005 straight-to-TV movie Side Effects starring Katherine Heigl. So it's going well.

Here's a photo of Louise's new sh!t instrument:


Expect to see 'Child Prodigy Midget Accordion' in all our upcoming shows.


We have actually being getting lots of work done here (as well as the spoons thing) (and the Katherine Heigl thing). We have the whole lovely flat to ourselves and the space and sea air are perfect for working on new ideas and getting some serious research done. Highly recommend to anyone who needs some time away to think to apply to the Expansionists residency: http://www.theexpansionists.org/


Louise just asked 'have you mentioned Katherine Heigl yet? Yes, twice. Three times now.


When we're back from residency in a week or so, we have a few gigs coming up:
