Stability Through Motion

And here, for your listening pleasure, are a couple of minutes from Clare’s performance MINE on Day Two, alongside the audio from the film RUN, and some background chatter.

Go get Adobe Flash Player!

Just a quick note to remind you of the photo album – it should now be linked in on the right of the home page, and is available on our Flickr gallery.

RUN is now available to view online. Turn the volume up and go to Vimeo to watch it. Obviously it loses a lot of quality on the web version: www.vimeo.com/clip:189675

I’ve uploaded some stills from the video piece, which will stand in for the piece itself until I can get video clips online.

I’m only just discovering the breadth of Clare’s internet exposure, and openness to this form of communication, and even though I’m a professional web designer by day, it’s quite awe inspiring!

i am picking up that Alun is feeling a bit overwhelmed by my wordiness. well, i am overwhelmed by his fitness and energy and activity ! as he was out running this morning i was flaked out in bed, feeling drained after the intensity of yesterday. i was not physically well and it was an ordeal to get through the several hours in the space. today i am still experiencing dizziness when i move about and right now, at 11-45, i don’t know how i am going to find the energy to even get to the space, never mind perform ! however despite my physical frailty, i am highly motivated and i have spent the last couple of hours, with my Powerbook, propped up in bed, up-dating web-sites and the blog. so i am getting on doing what i do – attempting to understand and clarify what my intentions in making are and attempting to evaluate whether or not i am meeting them.

Alun and i are facing the predictable fact that we do different things better ! that seems a good basis upon which to collaborate and i think we should exploit our differences rather than feeling intimidated by them. i too hope that Alun and i can make time today to spend with our work and talk about what we have done and might do in the next week.

for now though more prosaic matters – is it a good idea to go into the shower feeling so unwell when i am alone – what if i get dizzy and slip over or faint ? that would be a performance !

i do need to get over to Summertown and don’t feel well enough to drive. i shall have to ask my buddy Col to help out. he was a star helping me yesterday and i don’t want to have to trouble him today but i have no choice.

Appropriately enough, this morning I went on a 2 hour run, so I haven’t yet had time to write in the blog. I have to admit to now being slightly intimidated by the sheer number of words already on the site!

As Clare says, yesterday was quite busy and distracting in the space, so I’m hoping to have more time to read and write on this web site, and to talk to Clare and begin to think about our potential collaboration. I love the way the rhythms of her pounding rosemary have tied in with the audio track of RUN. We finally got online at the venue yesterday, so with luck, we’ll be blogging again today during the exhibition. Right, off to get ready to open up.
