This is cursed.

Obviously, the only sort of eccentricity that could exist on the streets of the UK!

Yes street theatre. Missing this a lot. I cant wait until there are practitioners making, and doing weird, funny, outrageous, heartwarming, and generally eccentric stuff on our streets again.

I love things that are perceived as ‘boring’. I love to hear the stories of how those things came to be. I think mostly we perceive things as boring because we see them often.

This is a really interesting little audio documentary by the BBC.

Festival Stoke (here) is running a project called Festival Echoes - artists creating in lockdown. Festival Stoke have “asked six artists each to produce a piece of artistic work, each over a period of one month, which can be viewed online, within the guidelines and restrictions of lockdown.”

This is the first of a series, all of which is very exciting! The Festival Stoke website says :

“The film was made over the course of the month of May 2020. Martin made the film within the limitations of his house - filming on his phone, utilising scrap materials to build props and costumes and only using locations he could access without leaving the house. Martin said: "While on lockdown I've been rereading a lot of the forerunners to modern European theatre, Homer, Sophocles, Aeschylus etc and I'd like to take influence from here to build the narrative and form of my film, using monologue, poetry, song and music. I intend to tell a family friendly story exploring the theme of 'Isolation' that will be at its core a comedy. The question I want to ask is: "What happens to the heroes when the heroic thing is to stay home" The film can be viewed on Youtube”

The project is supported by funding from Arts Council England

I highly recommend finding the twenty minutes it will take to watch this small bit of Lockdown Joy.

Simultaneously rooted in pop culture and Classics this surreal and funny film is something that in years to come will be a definitive and exposing look at what life can be like during a weird and unsettling period fo time. A sort of documentation of how creatives have dealt with lots of free time and time for thinking, reading, playing and making.

A definite must see! Good for all the family, it took me a second to settle in to the language to begin with because I have allowed my brain to get a little lazy, but, it was all familiar very quickly.

Check it out !

So everything is obviously very weird.

The whole world feels different, slow, scary, confusing, and in some places good, and easier, and calmer.

Bread in Common, the B-arts Bakery has been distributing bread through delivery since the beginning of the pandemic, and have added a lovely bit of joy to their deliveries. The View from Where I stand are a set of Micro Comissions asking local artists to respond to the pandemic in their own way. You can see all of the works here

On point.

Art must not be concentrated in dead shrines called museums. lt must be spread everywhere – on the streets, in the trams, factories, workshops, and in the workers’ homes.

Ryan Hogan on Ingmar Bergman's 'Fanny and Alexander'

“In a bid to say everything, Fanny and Alexander sees Bergman contradict himself as much as possible—more than convince us of a worldview, he wants to dizzy us with irreconcilables. “One day she will prove everything I just said wrong,” says Gustav, picking up his newborn daughter after a heart-warming speech to the reunited family, lest we take him for Bergman’s mouthpiece. In the closing moments, Alexander lies in his grandmother’s lap while she reads from Strindberg’s A Dream Play: “Everything can happen. Everything is possible and probable. Time and space do not exist. On a flimsy framework of reality, the imagination spins, weaving new patterns.” Throwing his hands up to absolutes, Bergman leaves us the only truth with which he appears comfortable: the truth never settles, always requiring reinvention.”
