A quick update...

Compering 'Celebrating Sanctuary' this Sunday at Bernie Spain Gardens, just underneath the Oxo Tower in London, SE1, this Sunday; the event looks at the art of refugee communities on London. It's free, and there's a whole host of brilliant acts on, including the Kraa Collective - come!

As part of the Rich Mix residency, I'll be running a short course in creating spoken word theatre for Futureversity on 25th - 27th July;

Then, every week at Rich Mix from the beginning of August, we'll be running Solanki's Salon, a longer programme of free weekly workshops. We'll be devising a piece of theatre which will eventually be shown at Rich Mix in October. It's a really exciting opportunity for anyone interested in creating theatre and writing spoken word, so if you know anyone who might be interested, send them my way!

As part of the year long Rich Mix residency, I am working with a good friend and great artist, Jon Hoskins, to build an interactive installation in the Rich Mix reception area. This installation will grow and evolve over the year - more details soon.

i've just hard news that I've been awarded a small commission from a great spoken word organisation called Phrased and Confused. More deets soon!

Gig-wise, you can catch me at Tongue Fu on 30th June.
