Having intended to write scripts this week for the characters I've only managed three (Circe, Orpheus/Persephone/Eurydice and the Roman orator's funeral speech) but we've taken advantage of two opportunities to get the piece a bit of publicity...
1st September 2010 - Light Night publicity photoshoot, Leeds Town Hall steps.
All the characters in masks and costumes with props! This does mean I have to get them all finished by then, which will involve even more and more rapid hand-tying of "hair" onto masks (now I know why hand-tied wigs are *so* expensive), frantic carving of polystyrene, (blow-)drying of papier-mache and miles of hand sewing as my sewing machine has, probably appropriately, given up the ghost! Still, it will be worth it. Tomorrow I shop for the fabric for Charon's big black cloak...
14th September 2010 - 20 minute talk to the Leeds Psychogeography Group, Seminar Room G23, Baines Wing University of Leeds as part of the Psychogeography Open Media Night 17:00-19:00 (all welcome). Campus map of buildings: click on this link, then launch the interactive campus map, and choose Baines Wing from the list on the right. From the main entrance of the Baines Wing, go straight ahead past the reception on the right, go through the doors on the left, follow the corridor round to the left and the door to the room is on your left.
