at this very first fringe festival in Sharjah, UAE (north of Dubai). We put
togther a programme called "A Home I Cannot Name" after one of Joke's

2008 Creative Presence at the The Prince of Wales's Business & Sustainability
Programme Peter Willis of Cape Town heard an interview with me on radio
and called me in to be a kind of artist in residence at this prestgious seminar
- as an experiment. The musical input worked well for some. My opinions were
less palatible in this highly corporate environment and it was my introduction
of sadness, where some thought i should cheer them up, that brought a halt
to the experiment. But Peter and I became friends forever.
