Interview - Miriam Calleja Shaw

You have recently published a book called COVID-19and the Virus that Shook the World . It provides a sobering look at virus infections and pandemics, with particular emphasis on the COVID-19 strain.

There is a COLOURING COMPETITION over at the TOI TOI Facebook page. Toi Toi, who are amazing enough not to be averse to using 'super-duper' to promote their events, will release a number of colouring sheets based on their live shows over the coming weeks. These sheets are made by super-duper MATTHEW STROUD, who I interviewed a few weeks ago. This is what they say on the page:

We think it's important to remember the feelings you experience when you attend live theatre: a connection flows between you and the artists on stage, a sort of electricity!
Our first design captures an energetic snapshot of the last show to take place in our Studio Theatre, before the Lockdown. A dance show with a beautiful message of inclusivity and acceptance called Colour Blind, brought to you by Abel and Borja our incredible dancers. ðŸ¤¡ðŸ¤¡
New colouring with Toi Toi images will be released at random over the next six weeks. The winning entries will be displayed in our Studios welcome gallery for all our artists and visitors to see! ðŸ¤© ðŸ–¼ðŸ–¼ðŸ–¼
