Everything is interesting: Reflecting back and moving forward
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2013/03/reflecting-back-and-moving-forward.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Sunday, 10 March 2013. Reflecting back and moving forward. After performing the first 17 minutes of One. At First in 3 at Northern Stage. On Thursday 7 March I found myself hoping that everyone else thought that went as well as I did. It wasn't perfect - that's not what Scratch is for - but I didn't cough (bloody thing kicked off 10 mins before hand) or throw up (food and drink on stage plus nerves make for a potent cocktail), which was a good start. It will be very...

Everything is interesting: What a difference a workshop makes.
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-difference-workshop-makes.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Friday, 11 January 2013. What a difference a workshop makes. The other day I took part in a workshop at ARC. Stockton Arts Centre. It was run by physical theatre company Tangled Feet. I'd heard of them but not seen any of their work before. The group were quickly put at ease (I don't think I was the only one to be relieved that the workshop wasn't full of nubile 17 olds but mature artists like myself) and the two hours just flew by. After a short intro to the co...

Everything is interesting: Still devoted and still disgruntled
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2013/01/still-devoted-and-still-disgruntled.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Tuesday, 29 January 2013. Still devoted and still disgruntled. What a great, useful, inspiring, passionate, frustrating, intelligent, generous and fruitful weekend. As ever, created a welcoming, open space to meet, rub ideas up against each other and see what sticks. Warning, there is a lot of passion to be found on those pages. And once again, if you have the chance to attend a Devoted and Disgruntled/Open Space event you really should. Everything has a value, prov...

Everything is interesting: October 2012

If I could have afforded to go and do nothing lie by a pool for a week and read a book, perhaps that would be deemed a more appropriate form of healing? And it would have been healing to create a quiet head space and get lots of vitamin D but like I said I couldn't afford it. Unless you are running around with underpants on your head saying, "Wibble", who would know? Friday, 26 October 2012.

Everything is interesting: February 2013

Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Monday, 18 February 2013. An outside eye - working with Ellie Harrison. On Friday 15 February I had a very different, but no less productive, day with Ellie Harrison. Ellie asked a lot of probing questions including the hardest of all to answer; "What am I trying to say? What am I trying to say that I haven't already said? What is the big finish? Could that possibly be all there is to say? In the meantime, I have a photo shoot for the publicity image (and my website...

Everything is interesting: May 2012
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Thursday, 31 May 2012. What we're going to do right here is go back, way back, back into time. Loving the retro experience of playing with tape again. Been listening to Blondie and the sound quality is awful. I think we forget how bad it was. But I love the whirring sound of the machine, the number counter, the tedious process of 'fast' forward and rewinding to the exact spot, the sound of the record button clunking on and off caught forever on tape. All the best th...

Everything is interesting: September 2012
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Sunday, 30 September 2012. Too Much Of A Good Thing? Firstly this is an admission. What 'they' say about making work on your own is TRUE. It's hard. Not that I ever really doubted 'them'. Of course, that doesn't mean you (I) shouldn't do it. I always knew it would be hard. Maybe I even wanted it to be hard. I wanted to test myself, to prove I could do it by myself. Except of course I can't. Saturday, 22 September 2012. The sound of loneliness? Scratch number two) I ...

Everything is interesting: No strings attached - workshop with Liz Walker
http://everythingizinteresting.blogspot.com/2013/02/no-strings-attached-workshop-with-liz.html
Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Monday, 18 February 2013. No strings attached - workshop with Liz Walker. On Thursday 14 February I travelled to the wintry wilds of Holmfirth to spend the day with Liz Walker from Invisible Thread. In her barn on a very steep hillside. Obviously Liz's strengths lie in puppetry and visually articulating ideas using objects and a whole host of media. When I first started thinking about making One. RIP Barry the Man(p)illow.

Exploring art, ideas and the everyday. Friday, 31 August 2012. Loneliness is a place without you. I am thinking a lot about unrequited love and not just because of the research for the show but because of where I am at. It's been a rare occurrance over the last few years for me to find someone who makes such an impact and leaves such a lasting impression but there it is. Thursday, 30 August 2012.
