The ones in red are the ones I havn’t done yet!…..red….. lost in lost in Ctrl V.

So I wont be in the cooler much: As I have agreed to an intense theatre community outreach project. I will have to let ‘art’ as we know it go. For this project the values change.

It will be about, bringing people into cultural activity, inclusiveness, experiencing new materials and working methods, process, education, cross discipline activity.

It will confront those things I always bump into at school? Which is making things, this often challanges the status quo. To make things you need tools and using tools with school children falls into a area of

‘er woh…. tools and you need to plug that in’ and er woh……you want children to cut things’

or ‘er woh…. paint’

‘er woh, what 8×4 feet and there are 6 of them and there are in the back of the van outside somewhere’.

I noticed amongst my paper work in any other comments; One school wrote;

‘Not all children have aprons’

Now that’s my kind of school. Because I’m coming with 6 inch brushes, 5 litres of primer, power tools and a van of stuff to make a show that must go on.
