4 Sheets to the Wind - Krakow 2009

We did some work....

Wow...i guess life is on the up.

Finally, after 6 months of talking about it Kate and I finally got our asses in gear and did some work. It felt good.

Think we worked well together and am looking forward to putting something together.

other good news. Am going to be working with an old friend/director at the end of this month on giving a Grotowski lecture/demo down in Brighton...

More fun to look forward to. Will post videos of our exploits soon i hope

Akropolis - Grotowski's Teatr Laboratorium

Moving on

Finally bit the bullet today and decided that it's time to move. Put deposit on a house to rent and now have the daunting task of expelling all the excess shit from our lives in order to move out and get our house inorder so we can rent it for a profit. Joy!

I hate moving.

ND Musica

Found some potential new students for Toby's course. They seem pretty tight. Think they've been playing together for while now.

Theatre of the 8th Day

Theatre of the 8th Day were on last night. Absolutely
beautiful use of projection. Very strong street theatre - they know how to work a crowd.

Progression

So......how does it all get so complicated. Here i am sitting in front of my life, watching it all fly by and not really caring. What should I do, have to write a list of things - what to mark; what to plan; what to prepare.

can't think. can't type.

work........

thinking too much is bad for you

well it is isn't it?

just think about it.......

it hurts

i tried...

then i died

qu'est que vous dit?

can't get Gimme Shelter out of my head...that advert on TV and The Departed....

got to find a way to unleash my potential on the world... not sure about how i feel at the moment...the doc says it'll pass but i'm not convinced...now i just feel weird all the time and i think its getting worse.

want to run and run and run...but i'd probably have a heart attack so thats no good.

got to do something about yr1 as they are doing my head in and i can't quite deal with their shit all the time...how does it work? what do you have to do to get on in life...what can you do?

ahhhhhhhhhhh......life goes on

tweet tweet

just started tweeting...

might prove fruitful.

look me up - soma79

I used to get up at half past ten at night...half an hour before i went to bed

So...long time...

Been thinking recently about what's going on and its quite troubling to me to think that we're stuck in this recession. Maybe, soon, everyone will know how it feels to be a poor old miserly artist?

Life goes on however.

Been reading a lot of existentialist writings and wondering why are we here? whats the point anymore? why can't i achieve the things i set out to achieve?

I need to find myself a new niche. Still struggling with not being able to make much creative work and want to do so much more. Going to stage a show in September/October. Not sure what as yet but it'll be something written - probably Beckett. Maybe we could restage The Krapp of My Life but its difficult without Corpus....

Life goes on.

What are words for? What is the point of blogging? i have never been a diary writer but i am reflective of what is happening around me. Going to write myself a film. There is something in my head which wants to come out..it just can't. So...

Life goes on.
