Not much to report on the ‘audience development’ front. I have to admit to feeling a bit jaded about the whole thing. However, the new Kalender is with the printer now, and I’m hoping to pick up the completed job tomorrow afternoon. In the end, I decided to focus on ‘All Souls’ rather than trying to accommodate ideas around ‘All Saints’ as well – and all in 16 pages! There was plenty of material to fill it as it was, and I’m pleased that there was room to include some full-page images.
I read Jane Ponsford’s last blog entry, and know just what she means about working surrounded by dead people – the ‘All Souls’ of the festival seem very close by when you wander round the ’empty’ church. But I’ve never felt uncomfortable there. St Andrew’s is extremely forlorn-looking at the moment with all the dust, rubble, scaffolding and moved-around furniture, but certainly all seems benign.
Putting a named cake on each of the floor brasses and photographing it was an intense experience and I hope the visual result captures something of that.
This new Kalender is about to be posted on the website:
Oh yes, and feedback would be very gratefully received at:
