My Artistic Process - Writing a Poetry Set

I recently had to write a whole new set of poetry for a gig at Sandbar, Manchester, as part of Light In The Dark Entertainment's "Into The Light" Showcase.

In this video, I share the process of creating that set, as well as snippets of the final product.

If you'd like to see the full set, please go to www.youtube.com/brokenrosearts

The Making of "Bitten" - Broken Rose Performing Arts




Writer/Director Gemma Connell talks through the process of making the play "Bitten" by Broken Rose Performing Arts.

Play Syopsis: Raven's always felt drawn to people. But not necessarily for their personal qualities. Strangely, she still agrees that "it's what's inside that counts." Join Broken Rose Performing Arts in this short piece of theatre which explores the story of a young girl who finds herself with a rather unorthodox craving... and then dedicates her life to finding out why."

Starring Francesca Smith.
Written and Directed by Gemma Connell.

"Bitten" has toured to:
26th October 2011, 9:25pm, TV21, Thomas Street, Manchester
22nd November 2011, 9:25pm, Sandbar, Manchester

#INKED - Episode 1



First in the series. I take you through my fabulous collection of tattoos, most of which were done by artists at Spear Studio in Birmingham.

Once Upon a Time...

...There was a story. Your story to be precise. At least, that's a key idea in the make-up of my company, Broken Rose Performing Arts. I'm here to remind you of a fabulous YouTube series which began not so long ago on the Broken Rose channel - "Your Story" allows performing arts pracitioners, fans, groups and artists to tell the world their story with regards to the arts, through the Broken Rose YouTube channel.

Tell us about how you got into the arts, what inspires you and what your hopes are for creating your art in the future. A short while ago I made an example video (or rather videos, as I always have too much to say!) which you can view below:





And... see how an organisation has taken advantage of this opportunity, with Warwick Street Vibe's video:



To submit your video, email upload it to rapidshare or megaupload and send the link to brokenroseperformance@googlemail.com or check out www.brokenrose.eu

If you're not a big fan of the arts, but still have a story to tell, email me at celticcalifornianblogger@gmail.com and we'll talk... I might make it at Celtic Californian Blog thing :)

Much Love, and thanks for all the support - now over 1, 000 blog views in just a few months!
