9/oct/2007 - thisisnotashop

A few things came up at the workshop last night, it was a small turnout but none-the-less a productive one. Just to get everyone up to speed on whats happening and when its happening, and submission requirements in the coming weeks, to keep everything ticking along nicely.

The "exhibition" is set for the week of 25th Februaray to 2nd March.

There are effectively 3 strands to this "exhibition":

1. A publication (in the loosest sense of the term) -
The publication, it is hoped, will draw together the diverse and varied nature of the members works, and therefore reflect the diverse/contradictory/conflicting/similiarities of working collaboratively.

Obvious Synthesis is not compulsory, shall we say.

2. The "exhibition" itself - the gallery will be open for the space of one week, roughly. This shall contain elements of the visual/the aural/the oral...

3. The performances - Monologues/recitals/actions/speech...


The Actors Workshop:

It is hoped to have the Actors workshop on Saturday the 20th of October - that is Saturday two weeks. It is urgent that people send me the email addresses of actors they wish to participate as soon as possible - namely by tomorrow evening. I hope to have Sinéad McCann conducting part of the workshop - for perhaps an hour and a half - she is an experienced performance artist, it would be a great benefit to everyone to see what direction her instruction might lead the group and the work!

Please do send me actors emails as soon as you can!!!!!

Plenty to mull over...

Meeting in Ryans Pub - 25th Sept 2007

Due to an installation of work in the gallery the members gathered in the local pub to discuss work etc. The theme of "Identity" had been pitched the week before as a starting point...interesting interpretations of this were presented - members are asked to post these on their own pages of the blog.

The Actors Workshop weekend is under discussion - dates to be confirmed.

An eagerness to keep things open...and yet a need to pin things down...dates/times/works?

The "exhibition" is planned for the week of the 25th of February to the 2nd of March - tis a Leap Year - what could it all mean?

More on that later...
