The life of a crash helmet

I wrote this in pen on the back of a contract whilst I was bored on a flight from Bilbao to Brussels on 1st July 2011. I thought I’d write it up online.

We’re going to be showing Watch Me Fall as part of the British Council Showcase in Edinburgh this year from 22nd-27th Aug at 11:45pm. Once again we’re collaborating with the brilliant Forest Fringe and also with Summerhall (a great new project in an ex veterinary school).

Today we’re starting to make plans for all sorts of collaborative projects with Search Party, including the long mooted ‘Mega Project’. A new show made with all four of us.

Clowning is Good for You

You should do a clowning course.

Why?

Because it will make you a better performer. You will be able to stand on stage without the blessed cover of a script or character. Standing as your own stupid self is really difficult. Once you can be with an audience in the way clown allows you to then it is easier to work with script and improvisation.

Your homework is to go to Holly Stoppit's clown course at the folk house:

CLOWNING!

Liberal Democrats

All the political savvy of a twelve year old child.

A really stupid and wilfully self-destructive twelve year old child.

The liberal democrats sole real purpose as a party, being the third of three and utterly hamstrung by the monstrously backwards electoral system in the UK, was to introduce electoral reform.

This was their only hope.

Their only chance of becoming a powerful force and being given a chance to actually represent the views of the people who voted for them was Proportional Representation.
