This morning Sal and I had the pleasure of meeting Caroline Pope an experienced and lovely choreographer. We again took her through the space, spoke of the building and wove in more of our back-story. We look forward to working with her. Later we saw some maintenance men and charmed some door codes from them. So more exploring... I love how the building keeps revealing itself, more doors, more cupboards...top of the range 1990s AV and sound equipment..
Helen Kemp, friend and artist came and visited, she fell in love with the door, again, so calmed by the space and didn't want to leave.
I wanted to make a film of each of us talking about an remembered experience. We started with Mark. He spoke of Stewart Lee who he'd seen perform a few days previous. Then I asked him to tell his story of The Small Animal Hospital show in Edinburgh. This revealed insight in how Mark works as a performer, kinetic structures. Valuable task and no doubt full of other gems from all of us once we have a go. We talked about making a creative constitution. - respecting one another - how we share what we do - how we safely share ideas without fear of ridicule - getting over ourselves, coping when we get stuck ( quite often by walking/moving) - 'we are already there' ie we already know shit loads, never undersell our experience. quietly work on our individual self-estime, self-understanding and self belief. 'We are in it now'.
Everyday there is a bit of annoying admin. Today we had to book the cars into the loading bay for tomorrow's get-out.
