JOLLY was a performance I made in March 2018 at the October Gallery.about my diagnosis wiith  Ataxia (SCA17), a ‘degenerative neurological condition for which there is 'no known cure’, I was told.. Getting the diagnosis scared the life out of me! It included story telling, my own siongs and one by Jack Klaff who also helped me put the show together, encouraged me, directed me. I was very low at the time.

JOLLY was a performance about  my diagnosis, my disrupted  sense of balance,  and co-ordination. In  JOLLY, through story telling performing and song, I tell the story of my fears and acceptance of my condition and how to be er  jolly in a scary place.
