Aargh!

The day before our first Perf Lab, after my first academic seminar in around a decade, I visited the Wellcome Collection to see Misbehaving Bodies.  Jo Spence’s PhotoTherapy was new to me – but I loved it.  I had already been having inklings of a Fosse 'Aloof' inspired image manipulation of the female form and relevant costuming (made from empty contact lens cases).
 
Reminding myself of my previous experience and some of the great people I have worked with in the past: Kneehigh, Trestle Theatre, Martyn Duffy, Ole Brekke, Mark Trezona to try and convince myself out of Imposter Syndrome - I was still petrified about the idea of working as an artist again.
 
Trying to find my way into writing with some sort of clarity about what I wanted I to do and where I wanted to go I went back to look at what I had written in my personal statement: 
 
I am particularly interested in theatrical experiences that combine live performance with pre-recorded images and audio-visuals.  I am also fascinated by the use of interactive spaces and audience/practitioner dialogue.  
Plus: Combining story telling and performance with truly interactive learning.

​
 
I had no idea if I would achieve any of it.
