4th May 2009
Aurora Lubos arrives from Poland to start work on If We Go On, 7 and a half months pregnant and ready to get stuck in.
We are working in Sheffield Independent Film. It rains a lot. I cycle to work. We talk a lot. We play with Wendy Houstoun's text. It's a new way of working but as Aurora cant move a whole lot, its useful to have a different stimulus. I get very heady, intellectual and structural. My partner builds and together we rig 9 bare light bulbs hanging over the space in a 3x3 grid. I think this, a few chairs, some technical kit and a chalkboard back wall might be the 'design' of the piece. NO TO SEDUCTION. NO TO FICTION. NO TO DRESSING THINGS UP. I arrange things so that all the sound and lighting is all operated from the stage. We play with drawing scoring and writing on the chalk wall at the back of the space - its too familiar an aesthetic, but the wall looks beautifully textural when the drawing has been rubbed out. Aurora needs to lie down at lunch times and rest her growing belly.
