I’m letting myself have thinking time and not resist silly thoughts :
Here are some of my thoughts :
To make a TV show about people who make solo theatre pieces called MAKE OFF – we see the contestants spending hours sitting on sofa’s starring into space or making things with cuttings out of magazines or we see them on park benches crying talking to themselves ” I’ve got nothing to say – I’m empty inside” …thats round one if they survive that the get put into a ‘Space ‘ to devise set pieces using only what is in the room, there is no natural light . – and so it goes on – till the Final – 3 solo theatre makers in a disused industrial space with only one hour one light one prop to share the ‘work’…..
Two
To be subversive in a day job situation …ie pretend I’m in a sit com…already do do that .Next
Three
Submerge myself in a time space where I only listen to Joni Mitchell and see ‘What Happens’ going to start this tomorrow …’prisoner of the white lines on the freeway’…
Four
Workshop ideas for shows with people who are not in the ‘Trade’ really fancy this idea have already got the amazing Debbie Jump pencilled in ( i think she thinks I’m joking around but I’m not and she is really funny – in fact she should be on stage )
Five
Follow the path of least resistance ….follow follow follow
That’s all for now – my day job does calleth …into the sit com…until I write the real one ..which I am actually doing – get me – get off the sofa – Art is life is art is life is art is life is art …is life
still reeling from talking to Laurie Anderson
