has the world gone mad - or is it
just sad? found this at Peterborough train station - it is a real thing -
anyway another way of dealing with the public is trust - which was much in
evidence at the free, un-gated festival in Lowestoft.
First light was a thing - Talvin
Singh at 4:00 in the morning - playing in the dawn sunrise was very special
but Circadian by Rosie Lee was the real highlight - it
consisted of 24 on the hour 10 minute pieces. Each time it was the same movement
and sound but the dancers were different, the age of the dancers grew
throughout the 24 hours. I think I managed to see about 10 ish - it was
tremendously moving - the security of similarity enabled the mind to be flooded
with ideas about life, rhythms, death. The poignancy of the subtle differences
of the dancers movements brought tears to the eyes. The piece growing and
changing with each iteration.
The sound was so haunting Isaac
Lee-Kronick who was there the whole time playing live was a star.
The film will be great - I hope
there is a version where all the dancers
blend into each other over a 10 minute period. The
exhibition Print
Matters in Poland organised by Majka Dokudowicz and Mariusz Gorzelak at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Art and
Design, Wrocław has just closed -
I had a piece in the show as it was made up of work from The University of the
West of England's collection
Meanwhile on the way to New Designers to hang the NUA Textile
Design stand - there is always a sense of full-onness when attending - so many
hopes and dreams crushed into such a small hot space.
