Yesterday I had interesting discussions with Leigh Williams and Ben Hultum, both following an M.A. at Glyndwr University. Last year Leigh engaged people in an Inside Out project inviting them to write down their bad thoughts for them then to be shredded and made into pellets. It was an interesting exercise. However we realised that the area chosen for this performance should probably have been down near the Hotels where more people congregated.
They described their intended piece of performance art for "Inside Out Time and Place", on the evening of May 9th 2009.
We hope to involve lights, possibly LED torches. The field below the bridge would seem to be a good area, safe and with the possibility of an audience stationed along the bridge and the bridge road. It will be photographed and filmed.Leigh is sending photographs of his work and Ben will email me the description of their project which is called "Project Project".
I shall send them both photographs of the bridge area and field shown here so that they have some idea of the working space. Some of the views are used on picture postcards of the Ceiriog Valley, which adds to the implications of the planned event. Ben and Leigh intend to visit to assess the site and finalise their ideas.
