What have I been doing for the past ten years? That was a very good question, Shaks, and it made me really think hard. I guess, I can say it in tow sentences: first, Raphael and me have been raising our two kids Ferdinand and Ava. In my free time I have been hiding away in a little small-town museum with a disproportionately amount of objects and trying to turn it into an interesting place with a digestibly reworked exhibition.
Ras has been following the developments once in a while, giving a good twist to one of the events there. If you want, more about that in Bacharach!
Ruth

Gillian and Ewan
Apparently the Boogie Woogie song is the favourite football chant in Glasgow. So expect a demonstration of a good Boogie on the banks of the Rhein#1

Ali and Shaks , May 2025, at the Greek theatre in Syracusa. A spectacular setting for Ali's work on Oedipus Colonus. One of the best performances I have ever seen!

Ruth and Pit
Pit - Greatest achievement of the last 10 years!
Basic
Ruth und Pit hatten eine wilde Party-Zeit…solange bis Pit leider die Haare ausgefallen sind.
Professional
Da wandte sich Ruth anderen haarigen Kerlen zu. Das gefiel Pit gar nicht und er entschloss sich zu einer Haartransplantation
Business
Seine Hausarztin sah die
sache eher skeptsisch, aber er wollte es unbedingt... und der Erfolg gab ihm Recht!
Enterprise
Seitdem war alles wieder gut.
Shaks
I will be your friendly organiser for the July event. I have kown most of you forever! Since the last gathering of the tribe, I have retired and done some travelling - Tanzania, Bhutan, Grenada... learnt to make spinakopita... became a maker ... 50 unique quilts... and grumbled about the state of the world every single day!
The highlight of my last 10 years has been Bettona, my remote and ancient village in Umbria. This pic is me on the day that I got the key to Il Garage, my work-live studio, with a cinematic terrace! I look forward to seeing you all there!
