today

and happy.

one of the toughest assignments came to fruition last night.

The Bristol Uni Dept. of Theatre & Film Studies ‘Performance 2’ project is now realised. A devised theatre piece collated from verbatim texts, transcribed from interviews sourced from nights out in the City: The streets, the pubs and clubs. Rakes For Feet is the culmination of a term’s workshopping and research but has only really taken shape in the last 10 days. It has been a tortuous process – stressful and exhausting for all. The relief after yesterday’s successful first night is difficult to express. I feel like I’ve aged more than my allocated extra year (…..or maybe I’ve finally aged to my actual year?) Whatever – some recovery time is now needed.

That can be for tomorrow, though ….because on monday we recommence with the devising period for the new Stan’s Cafe show, The Cardinals.
