Found it hard to really swing into action on this project, but things are afoot, and here are the breif headlines.
I’ve now made contact to both the mentors I’d approached for the project – Richard Layzell and Phillip Warnell – and pencilled in dates to speak to them. Looking forward to talking about the project outside of my normal circle – it always throws up interesting angles.
I’m performing the piece (or a version of it) at the BETA Festival in Norwich on May 23rd (details at betafestival.co.uk) – this is pretty soon, so a chance to make the work ‘live’ again.
I’ve alos been talking to poet Sam Riviere about producing some texts for the piece – I used some of his work before (with permission) but to sit down with Sam and hear his take on the work, and the possibilities as he saw them, was energising to say the least.

Actually feel I can go forwards now.
