What is a blog post?
who is it for?
why do it?
when i started a blog it was to let people know what we were doing, as suggested by The Works, who i'd asked for funding help and advice from... that was added onto our first website
this blog is our second, and has gone on a long time, and needs more voices, i'm told,
which would be good, but who pays you to blog?
in a small wonderful community group which restarted, and then became a charity, in 2005, and ... and has at various times: flourished, lurched, survived, swum - to avoid drowning, "not waving but drowning or in the reverse or..."
Here we are, and the reason for, this after the pre amble, is another show !
Pushing our boundaries exploring our limits and Yay
and
we have had no funding for indoor 'shows' as the pandemic came along but even before that performing moved outdoors, popped up, began being anywhere that would open their doors, or gates, to us, we haven't done a 'full on' indoor performance with lighting, costume and all for years! We dream maybe in 2027 when we are grown up aged 40 years!
Our old historic Penzance support/partner The Acorn, despite having put in good access many years ago, a few years ago put in a fixed raised stage!! so we can run workshops there but not perform ....you can't take your finger off the pulse or push for equity and inclusion as inertia means moving backwards!
So today, a performance on a summer evening: a light, large hall, seats only two deep - for sight lines, performers bring their own costume choices on a limited palette then everything at least should fit well, we usually have a few lend and swops!
I do all the limited tech (untrained unskilled) with film help from George and away we... go low budget, for the love of it, art!
What could we do in a proper 'frame'?! the Tate event looked good!
Thank you to our funders this event is Awards for All
Thank you to all our audience supporters, dancers, artists, trustees and sheer good friends to all we do
Heres to More!
