Well, after many weeks of admin, Dot and I have finally submitted our funding applications for the big live art project we've been planning. Its working title is Live East, mainly because it is supposed to be difficult to pronounce (is it 'live' as in reside or 'live' as in not dead?), but also because it looks at first glance like a generic tourist initiative, which will be helpful in the design of our event maps. These will be distributed next to other leaflets advertising attractions like dinosaur parks and craft centres, hopefully being picked up by a non-art audience and providing an unusual alternative guide to spaces in the area. We've got Norwich Arts Centre and Colchester Arts Centre on board, kindly offering us the use of the venues for launch and closing events, with site specific work in other locations in between. Now we sit back and wait to hear from the funders…
I say sit back, but in reality we are still hard at work. There is another afternoon of live performances at Norwich Arts Centre on Sunday 22nd March, 2.30-4pm, which we are recruiting for, and there'll be another push for new o/o/o members in the near future.
