The Haul From The Crab Pots

I'm loving the learning that comes by way of a project that evolves along the way
I'm having fun seeing what it offers up and throws back
Sometimes it feels like I have to go and 'check the crab pots'
Have been allowed to leave a secret box at the theatre for the duration of the season and people have been adding to it on other nights when Tawdry isn't in the Parlour

No. I'm not Frank Warren and yes, his ideas and work with the whole Post Secret thing is mind blowing and humbling and gorgeous

But I was inspired by one of the secrets in his book published in 2007 where the writes of the post card basically said they used to write secrets for post secret but not send them whereas now they tell their secrets to friends and family

Kewl... I wanted to do a user friendly performance that could allow but not require the opportunity for people to tell their secrets.
Additionally, I have been doing manicures in performance since 1995 and it seemed like a kewl way to bring these things together...


So, here's a little of what has come up so far, and they are already up and on display at the theatre and soon to be on www.aworldofsecrets.com though they will be better presented on the there...

After 13yrs as a performer I'm too scared to ever perform again.
*
I'm scared I won't make a difference
*
I have NO idea what anybody thinks of me. This scares the shit out of me!
*
I was once a stayer...
Now I'm the minute man...
I fear this could be forever.
*
I jerk off at least four times per day at work just to cope with the stress
*
I hate my job and I am not a people person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
Prostitution paid for my HECS fees
Thanks boys!
*
I text and drive and hate the thought of other drivers doing that
*
when i was 8 i stole a watch from a boy in my class
the next day after everyone had looked everywhere
i was rewarded for having found the watch
this i have never told till now
*
I love leather even though I look like the cow that lost it in the first place
*
if my father-in-law asked me to f..k him
I would in a heartbeat
*
Is it bad I think all the secrets are about me!!!
*
Thanks perth for having the guts to have a go at getting it off your chest!! TH> xoxox
