the invisibles are born

after a domestic delay from Italy, further exacerbated by a Croat-Hungarian bicycle-induced drama, a quick walk in the park (and the spotting of a dead duck on a statue) tea and talks were finally had and The Invisibles parted feeling excited about the Incubation and Town Centre plans! I am particularly attracted to the 'I beg your...more than pardon' leopard skin lady idea. A good day, all round.

there are many keys to presenting the invisible

We're getting closer. We now have Hungary on side for the invisible project.

Humour is definitely a big avenue for exploration. If we are funny we may not get into as much trouble! We need to bring 3 or 4 things to the table and whittle away, find the common ground and develop something sharp and powerful from there. Precision and clarity will be key.

agreeing on 'goals' will lead to creating suitable 'roles' to PLAY pLaY Play

kind of like the idea of going with the news agenda of the week.....or perhaps what is not on the news and should be. Hungary no doubt will have lots of light to throw on human rights.

it's all good

we've been invisible for long enough

It's time for the invisible art to begin. It's time to start saying what needs to be said. It's time to have a good old belly laugh at some things and be knocked sideways in shock at others. It's time to get mad. To get it off our chests. It's time to ask if things can change? So far I have an Italian and a Croatian on board. A great beginning. We need to research the ethics and best practise for what we are planning to do - create theatre in unexpected places. (Surely, the most unexpected place of all is in the theatre itself! Imagine witnessing something really really unexpected, or funny or unsettling or tragic or unacceptable .....at the theatre??? Food for thought, but I digress) I suppose my real interest is in entertaining people, appealing to the nosy gossip in all of us, in sparking people's imaginations and getting them to ask questions or wonder or look at these situations and characters and also to look at their own responses and ask, now why did I react that way?
