LATEST DEVELOPMENTS 3

The Misdirection
Anna/ Joe
I have people in place to finish off the Misdirection, but was just waiting for the go ahead to move into my space and to start altering it. The first step was to paint and sweep it and then to start figuring out where to put furniture. In the end the Health and Safety wasn't great at the venue so i collected all my stuff and decided to try other scenes.

The Misdirection
Judith
I've had a bit of progress here. I defined a location a long time ago and the costume should be okay. I had a meeting with Steph at university which went well and I feel a lot more comfortable now about this shoot. It just requires me to do a little bit of research and then it should be ready. I have gained permission to use the space, so hopefully I can work on this soon.

Hope Is Eternal
Charlotte Woolley
For this story i've decided that i will not repeat the format for the Misdirection and will instead try to just make a cover. I have a simple idea for the cover. Will try to focus largely on the positive. I expect to learn lots for this story from my new job. I am open to the idea of working alongside a photographer. I haven't set the lead character or found a costume yet. I have an idea - using either a gym, a boquet of flowers, a picture from Croatia relating to the war (need to email friends) and a article type picture of the lead character. As to who plays the role Charlotte is physically up to it. It depends on her opinion really. I may try to meet her again.

Skin
This story is based on overcoming illness and based partly on my experiences working in a Radiotherapy Department and partly on my grandma. How we make this picture, I'll have to see. Again I'm starting to think of just a cover. The story can be made as a painting, drawing or still on a performance peice. It relates to how the lead character Melanie turns to art as form of a escape after being diagnosed with cancer. She uses art to explore changes to her body (life drawing), to describes her symptoms and her changes and impact it has on her life. At the point of her diagnosis she is a art student, but also a partly works a life model.

This story has changed a bit. It start of with Lia and Liz focusing on a life drawing, but then was a possibility of something with Carrie and Sam and now I may see what Heidi can make of it having been impressed by her of late.

SUCCESS OF VIDEO PEICES

Following the success of the video peices that i put on my profile, I may put one of my own up in which i take questions from an interviewer. I've already started writing out a script. I may use my own space to do it.

My recent castings have brought me lots of new opportunities. Besides the time already put into Marge Galinski, Carrie Hill, Victoria Howard, I have also connected with Simon Wilson Besgrove and Sophia Ereminowisz who are also local. This is positive as i have roles to fill.

As well as allegiances to Nottingham City Artists, hopefully I will build up connection with TAO. My problem will be if i can fit in all the tasks in the time I have.
