Finally, I've got it. I've figured out what I'm doing! I'm making a show, which will be seen by important people, and my friends and family, and the examiners in exactly 3 weeks time!!
So I had better get my arse into gear, stop floundering around, splitting focus and Keep It Simple Stupid!
I'm not a live artist! At least not in this project. I need to make a theatrical show which is sophisticated, engaging on many levels and employs both my humour and pathos for the human condition.
Christ! Sounds easy, but it's not. At least now I have something clear to aim for.

This dawning realisation was not an epiphany...it was advice from the tutorial I had with Kate the afternoon after I slept rough.
It's difficult to see from this distance how I could have gotten so caught up in the idea that I should be creating actions that might not directly contribute to material for the show. However, this was the path that I took, and this moment of realisation was one of the clearest moments I had during the process, which can only be a good thing.
I still don't think I have figured out where I sit as a maker which is how I managed to get so tangled up and was open to suggestions (i.e. James Leadbitter's suggestion to take ideas outside and make actions). Even though I made a highly theatrical piece, I'm not convinced that this is the one style I want to persue as my arts practice.
