Northern Creative: Day ten - slow and steady sound work

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-ten-slow-and-steady-sound-work.html

Tuesday, 16 October 2012. Day ten - slow and steady sound work. Jonnie working on the sound. Three of us are unwell. Possibly this is the result of a very intense previous week. We arrive at Theatre in the Mill and acclimatise to our new surroundings while we drink honey, lemon and ginger teas to minimise the impact of our collective ailments. Lucy plans out her work for the week based on the information we've given her. Working with sound can be quite intangible. The language around the sound and th...

Northern Creative: Day twelve - final mentoring

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-twelve-final-mentoring.html

Saturday, 20 October 2012. Day twelve - final mentoring. We share what we've been working on with Cathy Naden who is mentoring the project for the final time. We described how we'd been working, the repetition of the sequence and playing and overlaying with tweaking as we progressed. Cathy connected with what we were describing but suggested that rather than trying to fix everything at once, focussing on one at a time might refresh our perspective. Another benefit of this exercise was that Jonnie got a m...

Northern Creative: Day fourteen - the elephant and the magic in the room

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-fourteen-elephant-and-magic-in-room.html

Monday, 22 October 2012. Day fourteen - the elephant and the magic in the room. I'm writing this blog retrospectively. As you can imagine, the penultimate and final day of the process were busy, focussed and adrenaline fuelled. Subsequently I was not able to update the blog and I can remember few details of the two days now, even as I'm writing this only days after the performance. From then onwards the day was rapid, exhilarating progress. The elephant in the room was cleared out of it and the block...

Northern Creative: No Strings

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/no-strings.html

Friday, 26 October 2012. No Strings Q&A by Shakera Ahad. What is ‘No Strings’? No Strings is an Open Space for creative people to create. Put simply, a place to ‘Do’, where the agenda is set by whoever turns up on the night. Why ‘No Strings’? No Strings is not a co-operative, it is not a Company or a class. All of these things require commitment – No Strings does not. All of these things require formality – No Strings does not. Who is it for? How does it work? What do you ‘Do’? Pretty much what it says o...

Northern Creative: Day eleven - invisible architecture and back to improv

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-eleven-invisible-architecture-and.html

Wednesday, 17 October 2012. Day eleven - invisible architecture and back to improv. I am very unwell. The intense work of the previous weeks has exacerbated an underlying health condition that I have. This means that I can't take hold of the process in the way that I usually can. We leave early to allow some recovery time. Hopefully this will rectify my significant drop in energy and also help the rest of the team rest a little before the big push at the end of the week.

Northern Creative: Day thirteen - a grey day

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-thirteen-grey-day.html

Friday, 19 October 2012. Day thirteen - a grey day. The spontaneous magic that we've enjoyed in the room to date is very much absent during day thirteen. The structure that evolved during 'The Po Faced Version' has ripped the guts out of the work. It is currently so stripped back that the heart of it feels like it's missing. Posted by Joanne Hartley.

Northern Creative: Day fifteen - a really good day

http://northerncreative.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-fifteen-really-good-day.html

Monday, 22 October 2012. Day fifteen - a really good day. Anna, Jonnie and myself all come into the room with similar thoughts on how we can resolve some of the issues raised in the feedback following the previous day's sharing. Jonnie has had some interesting sound ideas that compliment both mine and Anna's suggestions. And the rest is history. The performance goes well and is well received. There's an audience feedback session immediately afterwards and this is illuminating. I really enjoy ...This is a...
