Paul, Sally and I met at the Star and Shadow to make something with only ourselves. This time no props.
We used the cinema space. There were cinematic memories and traces.
Id had such a bad week that it was good to get into my body and feel it in the space. There were some fun moments during the time we moved around each other, silently.
It was hard not to use props. I couldnt resist david's shoes.
I heard from a performance artist who did his phd in Newcastle and lives in Istanbul. We will meet him during the festival there.
He wants to know if he can make some work over here so I will post him our details at 25 Stratford Grove.

galataperform exchange
We had our fourth meeting at 25 Stratford Grove yesterday. We each brought objects and created relationships between them and ourselves for a couple of hours to get into collaboration mode.
Its always lovely to share food together, yesterday we ate turkish bread, humus and olives, home made Jerusalem artichoke and carrot soup and manchega cheese followed by fruit salad.
We talked about how excited we were to be going to istanbul. There is a lot of goodwill and support in the group. I feel happy to be with these artists.
I asked Dan, Paul's partner to take some photographs of us in the house. Its a good idea to take these a documentation slide show to Istanbul to show the artists there.

Galataperform exchange
We have received confirmation from Arts Council that they have approved our funding application for the Exchange with Galataperform in Istanbul.
This is really good news. Now down to the hard work of putting together the show.
We are having our fourth group meeting Saturday 8th March where each artist will bring a prop or a collection of props and we will start the collaborative process.
Our individual solo pieces are under way.
This is an excerpt from my proposal for funding:
'my living body has a menacing and delirious concreteness. I use it to serve as a complex and fascinating object of study in relation to space.
Sometimes I use it to focus on extraordinary forms of embodiment such as investigating it as an ageing artefact. or I might use it to show states of obscenity or rudeness.
it can be a receptable for huge amounts of energy. Let that energy loose!'.............
