Some consideration of our funding status: to revel in independent, unfunded functioning, aiding spontaneity and inventiveness – but unable to always pay guest speakers. Not very respectful of aritst skills and practice and not very professional. On the other hand, the increasing treadmill of funding aplications, with bigger and bigger expectations, longer lead-in times for projects, straying away from our own focus to prioritise the funder’s latest aims and objectives. Or the usual path that is a balancing act between the two and a little precarious?
