After yesterdays' great find of a level access point to our space, I went exploring upstairs for more ways into the space on the level. I connected two parts of the building that had seemingly been separated. I realised that a lift was hidden round a corner. I jumped in and went to see where it landed. I went down two floors using my pass to activate permission. The doors opened onto a magical space, well exciting, like a scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey...
The Austerity March was happening outside the front door and the others had gone off to join in and record the helicopters.
. I was alone in the space and suddenly a tall man appeared with a young tall woman. THey asked to look around.. I was quite unprepared and gathered myself and started to spiel out some old crap...The man said, 'I am the reason you're here...' my mind whizzing I realised he was Jonathan Reekie, Artistic Director of the place, showing his daughter around. I found my stride and walked him through the space, delighting in the minutia of the rooms. Mark appeared and we took Jonathan and daughter into the dark meeting room, we told them the story. We took them into the other crap rooms and listened to the acoustics. We took them into the cupboard full of water and sang them a song. By the time Sal and Jon appeared the atmosphere was good.
Sal showed her films of fountains, filmed in the courtyard yesterday, but looked timeless. 4pm Mia and her friend Luke turned up. We took them through the space, we talked smells as Mia does perfume reviews and has a 'nose'.
We finished the day by working together in the space, practicing new songs whilst Sal projected colour and films on and through us. Mark played the drums in the stairwell.
