You're not a factory. Newsflash.

Beyond the basement ·

2022/04/26

Ever find yourself staring into space instead of being 'productive'? Not getting around to the things you enjoy? Maybe the old ways of brute force and planning just aren't for you. They certainly aren't for me any more.

What could have been "one of those days"

Beyond the basement ·

2022/04/05

Things began so well. An early start. A swim. Good intentions. Then shit happened. A live experiment in how a problem often isn't really the problem. It's the way we relate to it. Maybe.

A taste of my own medicine: micro pokes, intuition...

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/31

Here's what happens when we get stuck in our heads and repress our intuitive desire to be playful and do/make things we love. Micro-pokes is a product I'm building for you lot, to help with all the above. Yet it's stalled by the very same struggle.

Improv chronicles: the big showcase

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/28

It's the last day of a 3 day improvised comedy intensive course. Some reflections on 'who shows up' by default when we're stressed, play as recovery and getting into your body (and out of your head).

Overdrawn from the emotional bank account

The dog's being a bastard after a week of taxing tribulations.

Live, high-stakes experiment in intuition and...

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/23

Would you like to make better decisions? Listen along, as I put my head in the lion's jaw of contemporary capitalism. A very middle class story of how house-buying (or any situation riddled with uncertainty) becomes more tolerable, by attuning your head, heart and gut. Not only that, you gain comfort and foresight should things not play out as you'd hoped. You fool.

Improv chronicles: day two of intensive for beginners

2022/03/21

Resting bitch face, how setting an intention maybe affects EVERYTHING. Reflections from the second day of an afternoon-long improvised comedy course.

More improv chronicles: back to basics

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/14

I've been running before I can walk, with improvised comedy. Time to slow down and get back to basics. Some ramblings from day one of an intensive course I'm attending. Much to learn. Much to share.

When something's missing in life, or doesn't feel...

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/10

My hazy attempt at putting words to a feeling that might sound familiar. Life's OK, but you're not quite in control, you've plateaued maybe. There's restlessness in your work, relationships, career and general wellbeing. Yet who are we to complain? Here I'll explore the situation, volunteer some observations, and hopefully connect some dots that'll help.

Shit haircut (a story of intuition gone wrong + some...

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/03

Oh look, a new hairdresser has opened, I wonder what it's like? Let's try it out. How we laughed *together* at what happened next. A counterpoint to the assumption that following your intuition or desire always leads to something good.

When you don't trust yourself

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/03

Brutal though, perhaps. But what if second-guessing ourselves is a trust thing. I'm wondering what's a healthy amount of thinking before you act? What's a healthy amount of trusting that that desire is enough to act on, giving yourself what you need? I don't know. Join me in not knowing.

The ART of being human

Beyond the basement ·

2022/03/01

A juicy bundle of reflections from last weekend's retreat on relating more deeply to our fellow humans. A stream of consciousness sandwich with a salient, crunchy filling in the middle.

The improv-life experiment begins (or continues)

Beyond the basement ·

2022/02/16

Oops. Today I find myself out of my depth (in a good way), when all I really wanted to do was pay someone a compliment. Or did I?

When you don't know what you want

Beyond the basement ·

2022/01/20

Rough isn't it? The urge to fill the void of not knowing and uncertainty with a definitive answer. Here's why you're not alone, and what might really be going on. Live from the epicentre of high-stakes decision-making in a teen skate park, west Leeds.

Physically shitting it, with intelligence

Beyond the basement ·

2022/01/06

Nerves, excitement, fear get to me before a big day. Then I have the temerity to talk about influencing your body chemistry, thoughts and feelings. Again, the irony is not wasted on me.

Allotment mourning

Beyond the basement ·

2021/11/09

This allotment has been in my life for about 5 years now. But I've given it up. I walk past it most days and you know what? I feel only relief. That tells me I've made the right decision, I think. I've been wondering if I'm in a kind of mourning - the aftermath of making a significant decision or a change in life. We call it reflection, with regret, relief, sadness, happiness - whatever, but we go through a kind of separation. When the consequences of what we've done linger for a while. I'll miss

Love and chaos

Beyond the basement ·

2021/11/02

In case you haven't noticed, which seems unlikely, we got a puppy. Dog, it turns out are agents of change. Catalysts for personal growth and destruction. I've also become a walking cliché for middle class parenting. Listen to a broken man witter about everything you already knew about family life.

The improv come-down (final day on retreat)

Beyond the basement ·

2021/10/25

The improv retreat comes to an end, and I'm left to process the fall-out on Birmingham New Street station concourse. Alone. Broken. Sleep-deprived. Yet deeply inspired.

Beyond the basement ·

2021/10/24
