Trydays – a New Year – a New Resolution

The water it is like a machine. sharp searing sound breaking siren feathers

I am doing the first showing of my new performance piece Scream Away on Saturday as part of the Poolside Emergency festival at The Bluecoat. The middle section of the performance is a slide show and above is one of the images that I will be using. Creating the right images for the piece has been a difficult task. I started by re-creating a Cindy Sherman style image that captured 101 questions and emotions, but I was mortified at the result. After speaking with Gavin who I am collaborating with on this project I refined and filtered the ideas

Last week I was in a very successful run of Broken Biscuits by Tam Hinton at Studio Salford. It is very satisfying to go from one performance to the next. However I am not enjoying all the lines that I have to learn!

Resolutions January 2010

Put yourself out there – take a risk!
Act out your thoughts don’t just think about acting them out.

I have decided to do some interventions around the bluecoat, in Liverpool where my studio is based. By doing this i hope to move my ideas forward. Last year was very busy, but towards the last half of the year i wasn’t experimenting with performance enough. I will use Trydays to weekly experiment with performance, space and costume. Please come and have a look and as always let me know what you think.
