Getting out of my bubble – help me

Getting out of my bubble – help me

By Chris Grady on October 23, 2018

As I get older I network less. As I look out of my view across the Firth of Forth from my tiny office window, I don’t get the urge to go to the membership meetings and first nights which are out there for me to attend (and I can’t afford to). As I get more […]

Extraordinary and Unexpected Spaces

Extraordinary and Unexpected Spaces

By Chris Grady on November 13, 2017

I seem to have had a couple of weeks of creating and being in spaces where extraordinary and unexpected things can happen. Teaching, facilitating technically futurist workshops, and workshops on being a director, and finally we all celebrated Hair in a first clothing optional performance. Quite a week.

Exploring our Queer world

Exploring our Queer world

By Chris Grady on September 6, 2016

  For most of my life I have identified as a pretty standard two-up-two-down semi detached man. Ground floor extension caused by age, gym-phobia and living has increased my square footage, but not my value.   A pretty normal, unexciting, introvert 58 year old man. But inspired by the universe, the ether, zeitgeist, or a re-awakening […]

Lett's do it - the Autumn diary

Lett’s do it – the Autumn diary

By Chris Grady on September 5, 2016

Today’s blog is brought to you in association with my autumn diary – I suppose it should be subtitle Lett’s Do It.   The summer has been a glorious adventure with 22 shows seen in Edinburgh, around 15 people having CGO surgeries up there with me, bookended with the amazing Quintasensual festival and the very wet, […]

Revealing our bodies…

By Chris Grady on July 2, 2016

Last weekend I had the honour to facilitate a conference which grew from the broad theme of Clothing Optional Theatre under a working question of “How do we choose to reveal our bodies through life, performance, and art ?” It was a fascinating day drawing together theatremakers, bodyworkers, artists, academics and naturists. What made the […]

Are we passing the tipping point ?

Are we passing the tipping point ?

By Chris Grady on June 19, 2016

This week my daughter and her partner started 6 months volunteering in Calais to offer their skills in the kitchen, the warehouse, and the community of refugees. This gives me hope of the care which younger people have for the world, at a time when I fear for everything that is good in this country. […]

Clothing Optional Theatre - research

Clothing Optional Theatre – research

By Chris Grady on February 8, 2016

Those who have followed my blogs for the last 3 years, and those who know me, will realise that I occasionally take new directions which may seem unexpected for my outward form and professional career. Crop circles surprised some people. Naturism surprised others. My life is dedicated to theatre and creativity, but my heart is not necessarily in it […]
