Spent
the last 2 days working on a body of work that brings together the past 6
months of thinking. Over the past 5 days Radio 4 Book of the week has provided
a series of profound moments throughout the week - John Berger - And Our Faces, My
Heart, Brief as Photos. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08l78gf#play
Whilst listening I've been mainly in a heightened emotional state but today it
was tears throughout the last episode and from 9:03 onwards it was so truly heart
wrenching that I felt turned inside out - with you I can imagine a place where
phosphate of calcium is enough.................... I have now started what will be my Berger
obsession - starting points were https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLwmv-1AZDg
Berger will help you rethink your thinking 20:00 onwards provides answers to a key
question...and moved onto the very delicate and thoughtful conversation - what
books can teach us is a wonderfully intense passage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLivFgw_i-8
and there is the ever important ways of seeing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9Kk
quite apt that spellcheck offers up and points out our failure to conform by attempting to change Berger to Burger...onto films - catfight -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5294198/?ref_=nv_sr_2
a kind of sliding doors madness, but interspersed with violent obsessive insanity.

an interesting idea but the 'CGIness' gets in the way.
Tommy at The Wolsey https://www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/shows/tommy/ in Ipswich provided
a jaunting rethink of what you thought you knew of the jaunty 'sing along' musical.
It really was a wonderfully demanding, eye opening, dazzling evening at the theatre
- 'he's a deaf, dumb and blind kid!' - think about it, what more could it be
than challenging and then there is the addition of the fiddler!
