The One Eyed Man Project

Hello there,

Hope you're well.

I just wanted to draw your attention to my new group flagging up my forthcoming series of experimental performance offerings, The One Eyed Man Project.

It's a series of 36 initial totally improvised performances in odd and unique locations in Swansea and Cardiff taking place in May and June of this year. I'm currently in research and development stages and will be going into 'rehearsals' (how do you rehearse a totally improvised show? Answers on a postcard ...) in April with my collaborator and friend, Gareth Clark, of the legendary Mr & Mrs Clark and NTW's For Mountain Sand and Sea.

I hope to be totally open about the process and the work itself since it is all about the audience and myself and our experiences of being alive on the particular day that the offering takes place.

So, please join the group, tell your friends, follow me on Twitter and Facebook, read my blog, badger me and bother me and come along to an experiment and give me your tuppennorth, as we say up North (where I no longer live ...)

The project is a result of a Creative Wales Award from Arts Council Wales and the support of my lovely partner organisations, Taliesin Swansea and Sherman Cymru Cardiff. Dates and venues will follow.

Have a splendid day.

Phil Ralph

Comment by Philip Ralph on February 24, 2011 at 23:42: As part of the offerings of the One Eyed Man Project I am looking to present simultaneous translation into Welsh in both Cardiff and Swansea on at least one occasion. BUT ... this being an experimental project I'm wanting to do it in ... you guessed it, an experimental way. So - I'm looking for fluent Welsh speaking performers who fancy a challenge and would be interested in joining me for a showing in May and June. When I've been to conferences where translation is offered it can sometimes be very dry and I want to see if there's another way - I want to incorporate it into the work, with interaction between myself and my colleague Mr Clark and the translator - as well as the translator interacting with the audience.

So, if this sounds intriguing/exciting to you then please message me and we'll start the ball rolling.

Cheers.
