Me pretending I don’t have post-show blues. 👍👍

Khandan is taking a little shore leave until July.

Time to recharge before we boldly go again. 🖖

In the meantime… if you’re missing me already, you can catch me at Happy Valley Pride!

Every mission deserves a captain’s log.

Before we leave Bradford Sector and begin our tour, I wrote a personal reflection on the last three years of creating Khandan, growing as an artist, and finding home in the space between journeys.

Captain’s Log: The Space Between Journeys is now live.

Captain Sid landed at Bradford Arts Centre last night, and what a wild ride it was!

Dhamaka Arts brought 'Khandan (Family) – The Shame Generation' to our theatre for laughs, tears, side eyes and plenty of energy.

If you missed it, you can catch it again tonight and tomorrow, with tickets starting at just £1: https://bdartscentre.co.uk/whats-on/events/khandan-shame-generation/

🚀 Captain’s Log: Entering the Final Frontier

Phase 3 is complete.

After a week of learning lines, trusting the crew, navigating a few warp-core malfunctions and keeping the ship running with a skeleton crew while our producer enjoyed shore leave in France, Khandan: The Shame Generation is finally taking shape.

I’ve written a new blog about the journey from writer to performer, trusting the process and preparing for launch.

🚀 Final Draft. Signed Off.

Three years ago, Khandan: The Shame Generation was just an idea.

Tonight, I’ve signed off the final script.

Thank you to Jenn Wilson, Louis Lisle, Amanda Huxtable, Olayemi Z Ade and Luke Madzudzo for helping me shape, challenge and strengthen this story every step of the way.

Thank you to for all the support over the last few years and shout out to for giving us the funding to be able to do this!

Happy Sunday! ☕🖖

If you’re having a slow morning with a brew, Jenn Wilson and I joined Amn Kaur on BBC Radio Leeds to chat about Khandan: The Shame Generation.

We talked sci-fi, tea, family, shame, theatre and why they’re all somehow connected…

Have a listen and let us know what you think!

🚀 Captain’s Log: The Crew Has Assembled

Last week, the Khandan crew came together for an incredible week of rehearsals, discoveries and storytelling.

I’ve written a new blog reflecting on the process, the team and the journey so far.
