I LOVE... The Duchess of Malfi
Stunning performances by Eve Best & Harry Lloyd last night. There was one scene in particular where I held my breath for what felt like an age, you could have heard a pin drop at that moment. The Old Vic is such a beautiful theatre! I was especially impressed by the set & lighting design throughout the 2 and 3/4 hour running time (they used the same set for the whole thing). Hats off to their director Jamie Lloyd. Love, love, loved every minute of it.

I LOVE.... Far by Wayne McGregor
Last night's performance was a creative mix of dance, film, music, visual art, technology and science... absolutely amazing and an experience I won't be forgetting quickly. The ten beautiful dancers lead by Wayne McGregor were refreshing - so many moves, tricks and ideas I'd never seen before. The lighting & music (composed by Ben Frost) were especially inspiring for me.
From Sadler's Wells:
A prolific dance maker, and the first Resident Choreographer of The Royal Ballet to come from contemporary dance, in the past year alone McGregor has delivered world premieres for New York City Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and The Royal Opera House. He has choreographed movies (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and created headlining sets for Glastonbury. In 2011,McGregor will make his debut with the Bolshoi Ballet. His company Wayne McGregor | Random Dance is a Resident Company at Sadler’s Wells.

I LOVE... Melbourne's Street Art
Hidden down Melbourne's backstreets (Union Lane & Hosier Lane especially) are a few hot-spots for the city's buzzing street art scene. I just wish I had more time to explore the mystery streets of Melbourne. There will always be next time!

I LOVE..... Alun Rhys Jones
I stumbled across this show whilst in Paddington, Sydney... totally fell in love with the simplicity of the portraits and Alan's use of colour.

I LOVE....Glamour of the Gods
I had a spare 20mins the other day and popped into see some of the classic images taken from the 20's onwards of Hollywood's elite. Lots of inspiration to draw from for the shoots I've got coming up with the next batch of hollywood starlets. Love it.

I LOVE.... You Instead
Natalia Tena by Alisa Connan
Ruta Gedmintas by Alisa Connan
You Instead, the Brit feature film shot entirely at last year's T in the Park over the course of 5 days, stars two wonderful actresses I've recently had the pleasure to work with.
Natalia Tena shares the lead as Morello, a feuding rock star caught handcuffed with her main rival, Adam (Luke Treadaway) for 24 hours, much to the chagrin of his haughty model girlfriend, Lake, played by Ruta Gedmintas.

I LOVE....The Passenger
On Monday evening I attended the London premiere of Mieczysław Weinberg's The Passenger, staged for the first time by the English National Opera. Banned by the Soviet Union due to its controversial subject matter until 1996, I had high hopes for this one. I loved the sets, the lighting, the crowd (mixture of press, opera lovers and familiar faces) but I have to say that the score didn't blow me away. 3 hours is way too long for me to sit still if I'm not totally captivated.

I LOVE.... Christopher Marlowe's Dr Faustus
Last night was my first night at Shakespear's Globe and OMG... I loved it! Great performances from all the cast, especially by Arthur Davill & Paul Hinton. I laughed a lot too which I wasn't expecting and which also made the 2 hour 45 min running time bearable on those wooden benches.
