Welcome to the world of studio based practise


Just about recovered now from the shared thinking day. I was shagged out yesterday kept trying to do things but just couldn't get going. I tried to read a bit of Tim Ingold Lines which Kate Pahl lent me but just read the first paragraph over and over again. We have had some lovely and thoughtful feedback from people which feels more like what people say after a really good party than on an evaluation form.

We all liked the bit when Bridgit welcomed us to the world of studio practice and Jeff asked "Have any of you guys heard of emails" it seemed to crystalise the idea that in-fact we are very different and it's possibly in the difference that the interesting stuff and knowing will start to happen. Amanda puts it really well in her feedback:-

"The vital difference that came out at the end of last
week's meeting was between making through thinking and thinking through making (Kate's formulation).
Perhaps what attracts many of us to each other is the excitement of looking down this formula the
'wrong' way."

We have our next steps and they all are doable and seem to fit so watch this space.
