Strange
it may be but Norwich is a poetry monsterland. The amount of good poets it has
produced, through uea, and its cushy environs, of my generation, is really
impressive / unnerving. A fine place for the last show (?) The town was Norfolk
festivalled – quaint, yokelfest, saw morris dancing. The arts / writers centre
is such a beautiful venue and lovely people throughout its tunnels, had some
lovely exchanges with those people, and ate their food. Everyone on the tour
seemed very balanced, calm, happy with what we’d done, still growing into those
ideas, still critical, but neither nostalgic or overwrought. No worn out
sentiment about the benemothian undertaking of EVP, which has been great and
for me personally a success for all the challenges it posed were new, and I
sucked in loads from those conflicts. Good to know...,
consistently, adapting each night – learning all the time from my tour peers,
the venues, the space, the techs, the producers, the work, the memorising, the
acting, maybe even the audience (though still in general I believe what I
always did – balls at them) Probably the end of this character too, a last dada
hurrah for the retch acorah shaman bear host spine birdkiller.
To the
show. This the end, may 25th, a date I have eyed some some suspicion
for a few months, but it arrives First bits were a tiny
bit wonky – I blame the conservative audience, gentility folk in the crowd.
Norfolk arts festival. Then on in, pretty good. A good bear, my favourite of
the Zamyatin story, the dragon. A nice going for it at the end came natural.
Some spit up lung butter bedraggles, some fear, & I finished after hard
ZIMZALLA BIM BIM BADA ZALADU ZALADIM by screaming ILL MISS YOU, ILL MISS YOU SO
MUCH. A lot of warmth and respect for those involved. Started out without much ‘acted’ performed. Wrote whole 45 minute theatre piece. 2 month notice,
national tour, sage, st georges hall rich mix, burgess centre …. 8 shows, 37
appearances. Went well.
