I have to admit that i have never particularly been into diary writing so this is feeling just a little bit weird for me! I tried to blog recently for a performance i was working on but it was thrown on the backburner when the process of creation became more difficult and time consuming. Basically this blog will be used for me to collect my thoughts regarding the process of work I am creating, discussing rehearsals, commenting upon research and fieldwork but also make general comments upon things that inspire me or evoke a reaction from me.
Currently I am involved in a project collaborating with two directors and two designers; Pornography by Simon Stephens. This is a huge text concerning the week in which G8, Live 8, acceptance of the 2012 Olympic Bid and 7/7 happend. The minute i read the text i knew it was a play for me to really get my teeth into. Its also the perfect text for me, a contemporary performance maker and two directors to work collaborate on together due to its openess in interpretting how it can be performed.
We are hoping to use a mixture of naturalistic performance, physical theatre and contemporary performance modes. the play is divided into seven scenes, and the performance mode used will depend upon the scene. Although at first this sounds like it might not mesh and in some cases it may not, having seen DV8's to be straight with you where physical theatre and text are used together fluidly, we know it is possible. We don't know what it will be like but we want to do the writer justice, do the subject content justice and do ourselves justice.
Over and out.
