SomersetHaus Day 9

The emailing and the admin start to vie for attention. We are constantly negotiating and researching, aiming to talk to people who can help/inspire/facilitate our shows. We can make the work, but we need to make it more financially sustainable. For us to find a business model that works. I want to talk to a producer from PunchDrunk, who have a great business model. Take over a building, have a bar and cafe to help cover the running costs and then your totally unique selling point is.... a show...in our case, a KlangHaus. You set up for 6 weeks as a pop up, get all the licences...Bob's yer aunty. I walk along the Thames feeling like I have the answer to my working practices....do business in the morning, email whilst the brain is in full gear....then take a long walk, have lunch/breakfast/whatever... then settle into some creative making of art and music. Unfortunately, today I couldn't settle on anything. Emailing and charging that side of my brain up took its toll. I could not settle on anything creative. I tried an idea of route making,pathfinding, nothing emerged... actually...that's crap, I did do lots of creative stuff it just didn't strike gold.... that's part of it...however, emailing needs to be quarantined. Discussions continued in the yard over a beer.
