I have introduced hula hooping into my standup act that I have been working on for 6 weeks. This was quite hard as I have just used comedy material alone so far, and not even mentioned the hula hooping. It went down well with my fellow standups, which is good as they, like a perspective audience, will not have seen that before. Delivering the material and hula hooping at the same time is difficult, but that is the whole point of my practice. And unifying the comedy and the performance side of art is good, approaching from another direction.
On the ‘Jography’ front the mapping of my runs with the iPhone app goes well, today I tried circles and a spiral. This all helped me to keep going on tired legs, and amused the dog walkers on Tooting Bec common.
I am starting negotiations with Surrey County Council about a residency on Epsom common. This would be a dream come true as I love roaming over its wild terrain. I feel as if there is nothing between me and the environment when I am alone there.
