In God We Trust

The MA has provided an anchor in a stormy life. Reading discussions on taste, the creative class and the core of creativity has provided a way to reflect on the core work I undertake. Getting back to the why of what is undertaken within the arts or how we perceive meaning has provided a tonic to the realm of competencies and assessments that I'm currently at the centre of. Its always good to gain perspective.

Time To ......


Time is drawing in on my stay in the south east. I've learned a lot. Think before you act has been a big lesson. Take your time to take things in and not just react in anger. I hope I can take this through with me but it's not always possible. Another could be watch your back !! In changing times people change or maybe new old side emerge in force. Never dis your own band was one from long ago that made me laugh.

Starting to sound like a country song but roll with punches and knowing when to fold have also played a part. And new areas of art and learning always fun to progress with others and learn. One of our "artists" had set up office just out side our building. They had a huge smile on their face as they  negotiated a project made possible by our generous support. Thats what its all about, making things happen, as if by magic, with not discernible slight of hand.

In With The New



Another year and time for change. It's all go and change is in the air at work. There is an air of fear and loathing griping everyone. Then today landed a report on a dance music piece called "The Change Game". 

The idea was to create a new piece of work based on the different attitude to change. In the west change is feared, don't rock the boat, know your place, tow the line. However the artists had spent time in China. There change is part of the central philosophy of growth. Change and learning are good. Development is valued Every thing is ebb and flow. Ease back and lets see where the wind takes us and what the lords of opportunity bring.
