A MESSAGE FROM BIBI BOE, IN AUGSBERG ,GERMANY

We've had a nice comment from Bibi, and a link to some information on Schwitters' story of Miss Auguste Bolt. While the thrust of our work with the schools on Overground has been towards the visual and auditory, in quieter moments we've been looking closely at the poetry, plays  and stories. Thanks to Bibi for sending this, and for her interest. We hope we can keep in touch.

LOOKS LIKE A PLAN. RECCE AT BRAM LONGSTAFFE

Two weeks to go, and Amy, Karen and Ellie have been wandering the installation site at Bram Longstaffe Nursery to decide what is going where and sorting out a timetable for the day with Bram's Head Teacher Jackie Drake and John.

The garden is a lot lusher and denser since our early site visits in the spring, and offers lots of places for surprises, hidden sound sources and contained spaces for our audiences to view the work.  There's a wet weather plan in the offing ( "run..") and we are hoping to have Brams Governor and Walney Councillor Alec Proffit on hand to fire up the Brams Bread oven, which was built at the end of last year by Japanese artist Yuki Akama with help from  John, Alec and Finn from the Bram's parents group.  Looks like a plan. Or at least the beginning of one.
