Day 70 - Sleeping most of the Day... I wish!! - My Room, Aberystwyth

We didn't get back from Cardiff until 4am and I had to get up and move the car at 10am so didn't get quite as much of a lie in as I might have liked.

I took Poppy to a clay modelling class at the arts centre and then sat in a corner and read Hegel. We then made flapjacks with banana in them.…

Take Back Parliament

http://www.power2010.org.uk/page/event/detail/wr4h

This election campaign has seen repeated promises of “change” and a “new politics” from politicians keen to show they understand the public’s anger at a corrupt and broken political system.The election has produced another outrageous result with a massive mismatch between votes and seats. Our voices have been silenced.

- Millions of votes have been… Continue

Borrowing Flats for an installation performance

Hello,

I am hoping to borrow some flats for one day (in May, June or July) to create the backdrop of a living room scene for an art performance - anyone got any suggestions of who I could ask or where I should go?

Perhaps there is a cost effective alternative that would work just as well...? All info and suggestions greatfully received!…

Curtain raisers for NTW03

Hello everybody,

With regards to the curtain raiser ideas I have assessed the impact of street theatre, and after watching the tech run have come up with an idea for a mostly improvised mini performance which promotes and advertises the play and it's themes/emotions. Laura has come up with another idea and we have decided to combine the two...

We have been given…

Day 69 - "What!?!?!" - The New Theatre, Cardiff

I had missed all of Carl's emails. So by the time I spoke to him he was a a little frustrated. He had been trying to negotiate our travel plan to the next show in Cardiff, The Devil Inside Him. When I finally spoke to him on the phone at about 2pm my right eye… Continue

"The Kiwi Knights"

From the shores of Britain to the central reaches of Asia Minor, an ancient path covering more than 3000 miles has lain dormant for over 800 years. Not since the last crusade of 13th century has anyone undertaken to traverse its entire lengh on foot, as Europe staggered through the dark ages, and from plague to famine to war.

Now after 65 years of European peace, it is time for this path to be walked again. There is a chance now to stretch out the…

Day 68 - Election Night - Standing Still on the Edge of a Cliff, Aberystwyth

Sam and I took up residence on the side of the cliff for 30 minutes. A video camera caught our inactivity as the time lapse recording documented a minutes silence, a brief period of inactivity to contemplate the closing of the ballot.

A bat circled overhead and the cliff dropped away behind us revealing the town of Aberystwyth at night. A few feet away to our right, the rocks fell sharply towards the sea a hundred feet below.…

Curtain Raisers for NTW03

Hiya Curtain Raisers,

I have a copy of the script from Amazon, perhaps we could get together

and choose an excerpt to do.

Also, I had an idea last night. It might sound nuts but...we could make

sandwich board signs out of the posters and be a walking advertisement

through town, there would be a short script to say too;…

Day 67 - The White Model Meeting - Mike Pearson's Office, Aberystwyth

I sat in the far corner of Mike's office observing for the best part of 4 hours as the two Mikes, Simon and Giles, navigated their way through the production details of the Persians. I say far corner... none of the corners are actually very far from each other, so I did my best to sit as out of the way as possible. A set model sat on the far side of the room and miniature pieces of furniture moved their way around as materials and budgets were discussed.

This is…
