1. Who are you? Penelope Kentish, Nel Kentish, or, if you mishear my introduction on the telephone – “Chelsea”.
2. What city do you live in? Bathurst, NSW. I love this town.
3. Besides making wonderful things with Big One Little One, what do you do? I run programs for young people for local council, I teach drama, and I lecture at CSU. I also bake sweet things and watch old seasons of Survivor.
4. Who or what do you love? Making art and dancing in my kitchen. I’m also quite fond of my man friend.
5. Describe the most recent time you fell in love with someone/something strange? I have just ended a short romance with the 2014 season of House Rules. We had some really happy times, but it’s over now. It’s okay, only two more months until Survivor, Season 29.
6. (Without giving away any secrets) how would you describe I might just take you on the AstroTurf? It’s like that time I met a boy called Simon in a recording studio in Melbourne and decided I was in love. I invented our whole future together, and then he casually mentioned his partner. Hang on a minute, I’m sure I based a show around this. (This is for you, Simon.)
