Finally Finished my Performance Art Design course and taking some time out for the Summer (well sort of). Got my final grades through at the weekend and passed with an overall mark of:

Distinction - Merit - Merit

Performing Arts in Context / Performance Art Business / Costume Making / Masks Production Workshop / Design Method / Makeup Design & Application (#1 & #2) Special FX Makeup (#1 & #2) / Design Material, Techniques & Processes / Production & Planning / Design Drawing / Puppet Design & Construction
Makeup for Performers / Stage Lighting Design / Technical Stage Operations

I'm well chuffed, but can't help but kick myself for not getting a better mark, in the end my extra credit work I'd slaved away for didn't count :(. Although in fairness it did wonders for my own determination and focus.

In the meantime I'm cruising through course details and trying to find a basic Digital Photography course and a more advanced course in Fashion and Tailoring for my future plans.
Whilst Adam busily ferrets away at a 9-5 to pay the bills, Bane is taking bookings for stilt walking, performing, makeup design & body painting.

Had a bit of a reality check the other week though; as had a crash on the motorway as another driver pulled out during a late lane change and ended up with both cars spinning out and hitting the reservations. Luckily only the 2 cars were involved with no casualties to report, other then my car awaiting the wreckers yard :(

Anyhoo onwards and upwards, I'm determined to start playing with fire this summer and already working towards some future projects as well as bulking up the portfolio :)
