Catch up & Cues: Building in the Chaos

This week Kate and Shimna swap stories of croissants in Manchester, festival energy in Belfast, and the wild world of immersive “spaceship” installs. From Anna Lapwood’s viral organ concert to circus-style shows that change every night, they explore how embracing chaos sparks creativity.

They sketch the bones of a new project part soundtrack, part visuals, part movement about creation itself. Along the way, they reflect on freelancing freedom, finding the right environment, and the serendipity of global connections that keep popping up.

Highlights:

• Croissants, puns, and Manchester catch-ups
• Belfast TradFest + surprise guest-list perks
• Viral German organ concert inspiration
• Inside the chaos of immersive art builds
• Circus as a model for flexible storytelling
• The call to build a community of collaborators
