a
full-on two weeks of an academic whirlwind - I think that there was some
breathing in there - somewhere. lateral thinking workshops, introductions to
course, days out..... timetravel letters and tutorials. From the initial
conversations I feel Year 3 students at NUA are going to be excellent. I have
posted a few of the presentations on slideshare - a link to day 1 https://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/thursday-day-1
Teaching at Camberwell is a longer story and I will return to this later. On
the Netflix front deep in Maniac https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5580146/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
with its excellent cast/acting and
the question of what is real, where is reality and truth at the core, Killing Eve https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7016936/
was a winner. Outside of the screen I
managed to get to see the stunning Clocks
by Christian Marclay at the Tate -
oddly I was watching a piece actually about time showing time but I forgot the
time and was late for a meeting!! - its that good. Even though I have seen it
several times in different places I plan to go back - meanwhile here's a link
to Telephone - another piece of his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MMfgRg53SU Storm - James
Wilton Dance
at Dance East - some wonderful
movement from the soloists Norikzazu, Ihsaan De Banya and Sarah Jane Taylor.
The choreography flowed and I became acuity aware of the dances relationship to
the floor! just enough hip hop. Finally got my Spill tickets - can't wait as there is so much to see especially a
return to Forced Entertainment's Shakespeare
https://www.forcedentertainment.com/project/complete-works-table-top-shakespeare/
and Shared Saliva https://spillfestival.com/show/rituals-in-romance/
looking forward to Dance at The Place next week and then another evening at
Dance East.
