Summer Catch Up

Dear all,

We hope this email finds you well, and that you are having a nice summer (despite the weather).

It has been quite a long time since we have been in touch and so we thought it would be nice to send you a brief update…

i am small THE WORLD IS BIG has received substantial funding from Kent County Council through the ‘New Recipes Programme’! We will be re-creating the project on a larger and more ambitious scale than last time, contacting communities across Kent. There will also be a project-specific website and many other new exciting developments. The culminating event will take place in spring 2011. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
On a related matter, we have now put up the video documentation of the first version of “i am small THE WORLD IS BIG” on YouTube. Have a look!

everyONE’s looking for someONE… Now if you were keeping an eye on our creative blog at the start of the summer, you will recognise this title as one of our latest creative ventures. We are still waiting to receive some pictures from the work-in-progress we presented at The Basement (Brighton). But we can say the piece was a success, both on the Brighton streets during the day and in the evening culmination. Very soon we will be going back into the studio to work on this project and make it a tourable performance. Watch this space…

We were recently approached by ArtsAgenda, a national creative producing company based in Brighton (http://www.artsagenda.co.uk/). They have programmed one of our latest works for a festival taking place in Derby this September, Derby Festé (http://www.derbyfeste.com/). We will be performing our work alongside great names like Ant Hampton (Rotozaza), and Metro-Boulot-Dodo! Our piece, formerly known as Present Tents, began live as a one-off for The Playhouse and was presented with the help of PANeK at this year’s Lounge on the Farm music festival. This intimate and quirky one-to-one experience has just been reworked and polished for Derby Festé. It also has a new title: pause; The performance will take place in Derby Market Place on from 11am till 6pm, on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th September 2010. Spread the news across the Midlands and North!

Finally, we have been rummaging through our bottom drawers and found a trailer of POSTSTRIPT (v.1) as it was performed at Canterbury Fringe Festival in October 2008. Retro! Time does fly when you are having fun…. The trailer is now on YouTube. Have a look and see if you can spot yourself in the audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDLpo0njfs

Over and out. (For now.)

Much accidental love!

Pablo, Daisy, and Rick
