Whirlwind Season
16/08/2025
This season has been a whirlwind — training and performing at Odin Home in Ringkøbing, diving into the Feats of Performing Training Camp, and celebrating the Transit Festival in Stendis (Denmark). Each moment has been a spark of inspiration for what comes next.
Bramat Festival, Goleni´ow, Poland
In just a few days, I'll be heading to Poland for the Bramat Festival, hosted by Teatr Brama, to present: Sisyphus — a new performance from Fabrica Athens, with actor Fanis Katehos in collaboration with me as director. https://www.facebook.com/teatrbrama/
I return to Athens in September when I will perform my solo Fool in the Full Moon, lead a workshop, and for the premiere of Sisyphus, all at the Handmade & Recycled Festival.
Masca, Bucharest, Romania
October will take me to Bucharest to lead a workshop at Masca.
Ships that Pass in the Night, Ringkøbing, Denmark
And finally in November, I'm launching a new workshop/3-phase project: Ships that Pass in the Night which will unfold at Brogården in Ringkøbing, Denmark. First phase is planned for the period 3–28 November; the second phase, in June 2026 and the third phase in February 2027 (dates to be confirmed).
The project is open for applications now – read more and apply here
It's shaping up to be a rich and exciting autumn, and I'm looking forward to crossing paths — on stage, in the workshop room, or somewhere in between.
Warmly,
Donald
Ships that Pass in the Night has slipped into dock with our lifeline. 3 weeks of a process in search of hidden meanings, unravelling the journey. We anchored briefly with students from Ringkøbing Gymnasium swabbing the decks with them in three sails to the wind. We keep the crow's nest on high alert navigating our course, heading to new horizons. ...

Sticks & Stones
I led a three day workshop (21-23 October 2025) for students at the Masca - Scoala Teatru Alternativ in Bucharest, Romania as part of a larger collaboration involving many different artists from around the world.
Is Sisyphus schizophrenic? Here's an interesting idea. Why, if you were carrying a rock up and down for eternity, wouldn't your mind soon lose its way? Wouldn't it start confusing fantasy with reality, dream with waking life?
