7 hour meetings

Challenging to make myself write as so busy. We are all trying to do our normal jobs at the same time, so reading emails about artistic content and discussing pork pie procedures, whilst the Mac Doctor tells me my iMac is dead. Our Thursday meeting last 7-8 hours followed by a site visit and a scheduling meeting. If something is funny,like Mark telling us about making chairs out of old RFH archive programmes... ( an HLF participation project)whereby a lot of gaffa was used and it was shit... we laughed and laughed til we could hardly breathe. That’s the upside of being over tired. Things are just starting to become impossible. The metronome will be 2 weeks late. The cabinet making is up to the wire.Sal and I are in Arup, structural engineers, re-taking the films of plans and quantities books. The meetings are multi faceted.. we blast through multi layer agendas. The live performer element was worrying for us as we know that a live musician will need direction and given context in order to connect and give a meaningful performance. Rachel, one of the leads had the wonderful idea of the performer being a dancer. It solves all the problems of ‘ stopping the music’ and they look wonderful even just walking. They can move to all the music and demonstrate highlight the architecture. More soon.
