So my painting is not going well, I have had to paint out my brother's nose as I am so annoyed with it and I just went down to the basement to have a peek at it and now I don't like the hair. BREATHE.
Anyways this post isn't really about my negotiated project ... its about something really exciting called 'The Space' click here for the website. Have you looked at it, do you know what it is? Well you should! The Space is an interactive, exciting, innovate and free way to experience the Arts for free! You can watch upcoming art events, browse through rare archives, watch live performances ... all on your computer or laptop or T.V or tablet or phone! It's a joint venture developed by Arts Council England in partnership with the BBC. I think it's such a good way to get the Arts easily available to the masses. Think about how many times you haven't gone to the Theatre or seen an exhibition at an art Gallery as you are skint for money, well this is a way to access the Arts or performance you have missed for free. It's an easy way to view our country's vast cultural archive and it is at the heart of how we as individuals use digital technology to perceive art.
I think as a Scenic Artist, what The Space is doing for us but also for other artists, musicians, actors, technologists ... is a great platform to dynamicaly show to our nation what we have to offer.
For example on the 7th of January The Space will be broadcasting: Royal Opera Live. Starting at 10.30am there will be a live stream for 10 hours of behind the scenes. 21 cameras will be positioned around the ROH, you'll be able to watch what goes on during the day: backstage you can see what Technical Stage Management are doing, in the pit you can see Antonio Pappano in action and also on the site you'll be able to view Act 3 of Wagner's 'Die Walküre'. Hmmm I wonder if we will see Jude Bomphray (my close friend on my course) behind the scenes as on the 7th of January she is having a tour round the ROH that day!
