Performance - Day Six

Our hearts sank on arrival today. Another van was parked right in the middle of the performance area again. Luckily it left by 1.10pm. Two of the staff members were new to the piece today, so they got to learn the ropes as they went. There are ten of us who are working on a rotation at the show over the next 30 days. We're in orange, so make sure you say hello if you spot us (we're hard to miss actually - see below). If you've got any questions, we're happy to have a chat. As is Paul-Andre after the show. We noticed lots of people making videos or taking pictures on their phones today. So if you were one of them and want to share it with us, drop us an email and tell us where you've put your files. Our friendly street-sweeper called out a happy 'Alright Jim?' in the middle of the show today. We're going to have to see if he'll let us interview him before the run has finished!

Performance - Day Five

Everything went smoothly today, no problems with set-up at all! Probably because Sundays are a bit more peaceful at Liverpool St! Staff chatted to passers-by and a few mentioned they had happened upon the piece by accident, and coincidentally enough, had also happened upon our other outdoor piece Transports Exceptionnels by Compagnie Beau Geste, which was on at Jubilee Gardens on the Southbank this weekend.

Performance - Day Four

Our first weekend. The crowd on the weekend is quite different. We noticed more people stopped for longer. Not as many people were rushing, rushing, rushing. It was a lot more relaxed. A number of people arrived early, including a group of students from Surrey, and took prime positions on the steps. We even had a barman come from a nearby pub, saying he wasn't on a break, but he loved dance!
