Ticking Two Boxes for Work In Progress

Two processes of working and making and showing back some not so fully formed ideas [/]

The beginnings of this year have been hectic in the best possible way.

Working on a few projects simultaneously and adjusting to the company running with two we've had to go above and beyond to get some stuff done, but are hellish proud to say: mission accomplished.

JANUARY

At the end of January we worked for 6 days and shared a rough work in progress, a step towards an idea that is called Hotel Limbo. It started life about one thing, and became almost entirely another. The relationship between the two, still strong.

On Saturday morning I received an envelope from The Bristol Old Vic full of our audience feedback. Some of it positive, some of it negative, some of it hugely helpful and very constructive. Receiving these in-depth writings and thoughts really does help inform the work at this early stage. It allows us to determine what an audience see's and understands, as well as what they appreciate... Or don't appreciate. All in all, Ferment Fortnight was a beautiful foray into the Bristol theatre scene for us, and hopefully that relationship will continue to grow.

Below are some photo's from our technical rehearsal in Bristol Old Vic:

FEBRUARY

So, in February we held our own development scheme, and we opened the doors of The Project Space to emerging Welsh artist Dino Rovaretti.

Working for a solid week within the space, he performed his work in progress to an audience of 30 people last Tuesday. The night was a huge success, the conversations flowed and Dino was really happy to receive so much thoughtful feedback.

As a company we're looking for support in funding Molecule as a perminent venture that takes place in Newport, and if anyone can help us with this that'd be amazing.

We will hopefully be opening applications to the next Molecule in a month's time. If you'd like to receive an email notification when applications open up click here: MOLECULE

Huge thanks to NTW: Team, The Project Space and The Riverfront for their help, support and helpful conversations.

We'd also just like to thank everyone who supported us in some way on both these ventures. To the folks who travelled many miles for 20minutes of Hotel Limbo, to anyone who attended Molecule, or even shared a post on Facebook. We're looking forward to 2015 in Newport.

Mucho,

Justin Cliffe
