The Junction piece is gathering momentum and I am quite excited about it. There are a number of things that have been in the back of my mind for a while that are all coming together within it – always a good sign I feel – and today I have been collecting up some possible props and materials to use on the stage. Spent this morning working on the PR text. I find this incredibly difficult but rewarding too. Trying to distill the piece into a couple of sentences is a challenge but sure does make you hone your thoughts and rationale.

Working away on a couple more proposals too and am hoping to show in an empty shop in Colchester as part of a project that is going on there called slackspace. Its still at the fingers crossed stage. In fact most of what I am planning is at the fingers crossed stage, but then that is more often than not the artists lot.

Since the last post I have completed the proposal for the Junction and have been on an inspiring weekend retreat with ten live artists from the region, Anthony Roberts of Colchester Arts Centre and Curious – a company based in London who are Helen Paris and Leslie Hill.

It was an amazing two and a half days – inspiring and refreshing in equal measure and so good to have time to catch up with others who are working across the same areas in their practices. Saw some old friends and also met new people.

We ended the weekend with a synchronised swim performance to mark Anthony's birthday. A new experience for everyone – and no one drowned!
