Dyssing Monadys has now finished. So much has happend, we have met so many people, worked with so many writers, poets and filmakers, actors and directors.

The concept was to create an event designed for us – dyslexic storytellers, to tell our storys, our way. A place were there was no need to apologies for our erros or our weeknesses, becouse here – at the festival, we were the main stars. Our weekenesses were not important. We were seen as storytellers and for a while, people, the audenice, forgot we were dyslexic.

The audenice were often suprised and the work was so good, people even questioned if we were really dyslexic. This just show how little the genral public know about dyslexia.

We came out of the creative closet. Me included.

A dyslexic producer, writer and director, proving that her playground is better…

I dont belive in the mantra, if you can beat them join them, I belive in, “If you cant beat them, change the rules”

Not long to go now …..
Another night up late, but I am excited and extremely happy that so many people are getting involved and caring about the festival. It has a real feeling of community and a sense of…well, it just feels like everyone care. I now, it sounds a bit wet, but I’m feeling emotional.
This event has come toghter with a shoe string budget but the work is exceptional. Each of the plays have strong directors with passionate casts. Every night of DYSSING MONADYS will be magical. Though, I could do with a few more poets and short filmmakers.
Know any?
Please help to spread the word about what we are doing and raise the profile of talented dyslexic around the world as part of Adult Dyslexia Awarness Week.

I had the name of the festival in my head. It was going to be called, DYS(the)LEXI. in March 2007 DYS(the)LEXI took form.

Ideas are powerful so have as many of them as you can, often and without rest. The more you have, the more you keep getting and each and everyone is completely possible.

We never got any funding for DYS(the)LEXI – well we did, but the £250 RB was able to get, vanished in the expenses of our budget before we even saw it.

This year we have even less money to work with, but somehow what we lack in money we make up in people and people are a more valuable currency in theatre.

Amy H for example is my rock. She made the website and got us a top google ranking in the first few months of going live, because she is amazing and know what she is doing.

People all over the world have hared about us through our gorilla marketing and I know that missfit productions will be around for as long as I am.

DYSSING MONADYS is low budget, but that means we have all the freedom in the world to play by our own rules.

DYSSING MONADYS is part of the Adult Dyslexia Awareness Week and we are doing everything we can to promote our festival playwrights, poets and filmmakers. Its a shame we can not find any brave directors who want to work with us…we are just too challenging, obviously:)

If you are brave and think you can direct, what many other directors are saying they cant, email lennie at dysthelexi@gmail.com today.

Another festival. Another chance to produce new plays. Another year missfit keeps pushing, because missfit is the storytellers pedal stool. We love plays and actors and directors and we want to create a halfway house for them all….

Before missfit there was a)lostcreative.org and before that…well, who care what was before that. Probably just lennie in her bedroom talking to her dolls and pretending they could hear their next que.

Pretending is every child’s privilege, but what we forget is that its something we never need to grow out of. missfit refuses to grow up.
