You'll enjoy it as a fan of Gemma or as a newly acquainted listener - and in either case, have a look at what she's been up to in case you've missed anything (including a ton of sea swimming of course).

Part poem, part surreal radio play, Ding Dong explores the difficulties of staying in the present through the mind of a millennial, and delves into why shutting off your senses with the content on your phone is far more appealing than opening your eyes to the discomfort of today (and even worse, the bleak uncertainty of tomorrow). When the Present Moment comes knocking, Leanne wants nothing to do with her. She's far too smiley and righteous, and she has some difficult questions which are best left unanswered. Besides, Leanne's very busy scrolling through videos of dogs on her phone and eating biscuits, so she doesn't really have the time. However, the Present Moment is persistent in her curiosity of the here and now, and refuses to stop dinging Leanne's doorbell until she has her answers, forcing her away from the blissful euphoria of her phone (and her fridge) to face up to the uneasy prospect of some time without distraction. Accompanied by a dreamlike score composed by Emma Barnaby. About Leanne Leanne Shorley is an actor, writer, comedian and spoken word artist. This is her second piece for New Creatives. Her first, ‘Couple Goals', was broadcast on ‘BBC Introducing Arts with Gemma Cairney' on BBC 6 Music last year. She's an alumni of BBC Words First and has recently appeared on the BAFTA winning ‘Life & Rhymes' on Sky Arts. New Creatives is supported by Arts Council England and BBC Arts.
