Inspiration

I’ve got so much that i want to get down that it might come out like puke….

After having an awful couple of weeks (maybe even the past month) creatively and really pulling apart what I do today I finally feel inspired. How do I keep that feeling alive?

• I’ve been thinking about Cindy Sherman again in the past week and her untitled stills from b movies. Such lovely images.
• Reading One Dimensional Woman (can’t remember who wrote it – will correct that later)
• Talked to David Parrish about business and creativity – he had some very interesting ideas.
• Oh my gosh it’s just started snowing!
• Saw two very inspirational performances last night – Marcia Farquhar 12 shooters ( 12 films rather than performances) and a performance by Justin Allen
• Still thinking about routine, obsessions, clothes and domesticity.

Is there is a link here. I’m starting to feel like there is something appearing. I just need to stay focussed and honest.

Marcia Farquar’s 12 Shooters was shown at the bluecoat last night and i went along to see as well as perform with the improvisation group. There was a work in progress showing by Justin Allen from switch performance. I thought the show was very brave and he was sharing some good ideas to the audience. It was interesting because i think he was working something out personally/ artistically and he stated that was what he should show. I think thats where my head is at.

In reference to this what should i do first. Know EXACTLY what i want to do and then try and do work in progress showing or get a date booked in a work towards that??

Marcia Farquar! Ah where do i start! I’m not going to write about what i saw because it was too wonderful to put into my clumsy words, but i loved it. So if anyone does read this go and see 12 shooters for a visual treat and scrumptuous narratives. So good i could have spread butter on it and eaten it for my tea!

p.s i have no picture today. I have done another bubble map but i don’t want to highlight how much of a geek i am. I think if i spent as much time making bubble maps as i did making performances then i wouldn’t be so worried!
