And that's a wrap for Watching Paint Dry at TEATER V as part of CPH STAGE. What a wild and beautiful ride!

We got to work with our first Danish actor, young Søren, Sean had his first Danish sausages and we even managed to squeeze in a visit to The Little Mermaid.

We are now turning our attention to 'The Valentina'!

Thank you to all of you who have made it possible for us to tour our work by supporting our boosted campaign. We're at 79% and have 6 days left!

If you have the means to help us get across the finish line the donation link is in the comments.

We have arrived safely in Copenhagen and are looking forward to our first performance tomorrow at the mighty TEATER V as part of CPH STAGE.

Here is Sean Lynch admiring what surely is his top billing on the programme.

Thank you to all of you who have donated to our Boosted campaign to help us get here. We are sitting at a neat 79%, tantalizingly close to 80%!

Improvisation is a very important part of any performance but we recommend only to use this tool if you're working with actors who are willing to take risks and are not afraid of failing in front of the director.

This weekend we had a phenomenal remount of 'Watching Paint Dry' at Te Pou Theatre.

The remount also gave us an opportunity to launch our Boosted NZ crowdfunding campaign to raise some funds for our 2026 touring this year of 'Watching Paint Dry' and 'The Valentina'.

If you've got the means, which we know is by no means is a given these days, we hope you will be able to support us.

We are 39% of our way there! So far but also. So near!
