New Collaborative Project - Plus, regular soup kitchens.

I have no specific thoughts on this other than I would like to imagine a form developing from our collaboration,the substance of our meetings and our conversations.
I feel that we need to gather momentum and push ourselves into a joint show I want to see rush of creative enlivening the autumn and winter to welcome 2014.
I want a deadline and the stress of a performance to get to and leave behind.  I want the mess on the floor and the trail of evidence that we were out there. I want to raise the stakes and watch the strains develop and see different strengths and self awareness become apparent in the group. In a sense there is a forge that puts a material under intense heat and pressure and in the process transforms it.
I desire criticism - positive and negative.  I am happy for mine and other peoples ideas to be challenged examined, reexamined, agreed with and then re- disagreed with, it is all fine.  It is all healthy and constructive.
We need to regroup and I need to get out my notes and start on my 'This is Week......', this in a sense is a ritual of commencement of a new meet.
The date of the new meet will be the Tuesday 22nd October 2013 for me, this is because it is the next date when I will re-attend for a gathering that is solely a meeting: as opposed to a film and conversation.
I have to decide on whether it will be week 1 and make a division with the early part of the collaboration meetings or should it be continuous?
The soup kitchens should be revisited but when they are on and around meetings the food should be prepared and be cooking while we have a disciplined shorter meeting.
I have given a lot of 'I's, in this small piece but I am simply being honest and opening up my thoughts for others to hopefully muse on too.

  1. I agree. I also feel the need to re-establish a space dedicated to critical engagement, as separate from the purely social.

  2. Also, the idea of holding regular soup kitchens for starving artists ...
