a Quote....

Choregrapher Maguy Marin said, "People now go to the theatre and the arts like consumers. If they don't like something, or it's unfamiliar, they want their money back. But we are not a supermarket."

Week 7 : Tuesday

Go to see Rachel Whitereads work at The Tate's Turbine Hall. We really resisted the temptation to climb. Came to the conclusion that all the shows in the Turbine Hall so far look better in Photographs in the Press.
Interesting last night at the Turner Prize opening, we were struck by how calm Gill's paintings made the guests feel. We were interested in the clarity, simplicity and her enquiry into the techniques of painting. The Independent reviewer said they we're boring.
This day trip provided us with good discussions and conversations which led to a much clearer idea of how to present Summerbranch.
