i have so many things to do, and i am so excited about all of them...that i am just sitting here paralized with excitement/intimidation at the prospect of times ahead. yikes!
i got arts council funding for resonants and the fleshophone. this is pretty incredible. i have never got it before. and it was quite a painful process. but there it is. so i can try to manage that. macca is coming up at the weekend to meet about it. woop!
my mums birthday plannage is well underway. i am loving organizing it so much. though its also incredibly stressful! i love that its also my birthday. that means that i can do all the organizing and then people will take care of me afterwards.
i went to sunrise festival. saw all my bristol peeps, which was pretty fantastic. ruthyroo is being dramatic and wonderful and a bit sharp edged, and kyra being accepting and grass roots and exciting, but with limited horizens. ashley in crisis, but wonderful as ever, and jan being jan, with a couple of girls, both of whom seemed lacking something...somehow. plus a really nice driver called andy. a uber quiet guy called something egyptian, and a skinny tall guy who made the most hillarious screeching sound ever when i trod on his foot. i took an instant dislike to this guy. but thats not why i trod on his foot.
12 hour hippy journey, where we stopped off every ten minutes, so that the journey which should have taken 1.5 hours was nevending, in the hot busvanthingy, and we left at 10am, and were putting up our tents in the dark. there were no seats in the van, and we just had to balence on tshirts, and stuff. had to stop every two seconds for a spliff, plus poking our noses through the barbed wire at stonehenge, various toilet stops, food stops, people stops (what, more people? how can we pile more in this fucking thing? - there were ten of us finally - 7 in the back just all sitting on each other) but the journey was definately part of it. it was a gentlre reminder that i am getting kinda conservative and middle aged in the comfort level and judgements about how organized and efficient things should be in order to be good. sam is getting like that too. more so then me.
so currently i am organizing
my birthday
my mums birthday (epic)
taking a group of 16 young people to finland with press coverage
resonants and the fleshophone production
nowhere - plus some workshops and a couple of small projects for there
streetsoul making a two week video production in july
antiart festival in finland (i advertised for a director. i said i would pay £500. loads of people have replied. this is quite revolutionary)
a couple of streetsoul teaching positions and some more fundraising
help!
i think i need to calm down and go through it with someone. anyone?
