I have written up todays talk, but I am trying to keep it short – and mostly concentrate on the process of our residency here at Lighthouse. There are lots of pics in this presentation, more like a big scrap book. I have tried to keep pretty aware of documenting the process of this residency. Just so when I have more time, I can go back and reflect on what worked , what didn’t, what took the most time, what was easy, what were we talking about, what were we thinking about? It really informs my practice. This residency was 2 weeks, but the amount of work that was pushed through was much more.
Its been a pretty intense time but really wonderful as well. The basement of Lighthouse has become a big contagion soup. Many ideas, emotions floating about infecting each other to a video soundtrack of people emoting. It been dark in here, while sunny outside. The screens are running heaps of electricity through them making it all more intense. Its been hard and also fun for everyone. But we all tired now… Natacha heads back to Paris in the morning – 6am from stansted.. not fun.. she heads back to her family… michael is going to deal with the pack up of Pixy. My husband Matthew is packing up the house we have been staying at (thankyou david and rachael!), getting my son pablo few toys, cots, and all together. And then later tonight we will head up to London.
Its been fantastic to have Jane McGrath in – I think she has found the time valuable. Karl was great – great insight, great chats.
I am sure we will all be glad when we start packing up tonight.
I am trying to structure todays talk so we can concentrate on discussion – 40 minutes talk or less – 30 minutes discussion. Phil fro Lighthouse is going to video tape it. I wish I had some automatic transcriber.
