Movement

I’m a gov approved expert on how to prevent terrorism now, it seems. I’ve been filling in forms. It’s about last minute cover for something absolutely bread and butter. In order for me to join this company I need to be better at admin than I am.

I’m gonna do the best I can.

Today was varied. The Globe historically threw a load of costumes out. There’s not enough room to keep these things. My friend Jon lived locally, saw the bin, knew what he was looking at, took it all home. I’ve worn things from that haul many times. It was the basis for a strong pitch.

They did a thing much like Glyndebourne did where they wanted to disseminate costumes they could no longer store. I’ve been at The Swan for long enough now that I can ask to be included, and they did a brilliant thing where everyone who was interested on Facebook got to cherry pick, and then I got to take the bulk.

There’s all sorts. It’s three Bergmans worth of costume. I’ll need to sort it properly. I’ll need a space. But this has been a long time coming. The costumes we had the other night cost more to rent than they might have cost to make. I’ve got some variety. I’m gonna try and make things work. I’m underplaying until I know what’s there. It’s nothing excellent, the good stuff has all been creamed off, but it is nuts and bolts and actually that’s the stuff you overlook. I didn’t want any of the stuff I’ve ended up with. I have a feeling it’ll end up splatted across the low budget theatre scene, the burlesquers, the humans who are my jamjam. Just as soon as I’ve made sense of what’s there I’m gonna start disseminating it, and I’m pretty happy to facilitate people who are doing weird stuff. I’ve already put so much stuff into the unusual. I’m looking forward to more.

Bed now though. I’ve filled in the forms but then they needed a word doc as a CV. Christ, I’ve never had to do it. I can’t remember things, I’ve been a practitioner for decades but…

Sprite. Factory. Honey Tongue. Roland. AFTLS. There are so many companies that aren’t big noonoo. Then sure the ongoing Collab with Globe, the recent RSC … if I want to be noonooface I can do it. Largely I’m just offering cover for my friend. I’ll try and send the stuff they want in time. I hate it though. Mister Al has splurg in the bumface for urgles and he worked with Ea Nasir, Bottomhead and Splat. It is all just a rearrangement of noise. I know my stuff. I know it deeply. I can transfer it without complication. That’s all you need surely?

Still, after a long day moving costumes I’ve ended up stymied by not having a Cv in word. Got all the rest, even the dbs etc. Just marketing. I could probably make a Cv that was the one cv to rule them all. I’ve had a long existence and only had darkness about one exploitative job on the water staffed by the bodysnatched. I suspect it’ll be fine. I’ll find out. Hopefully will be good to sort stuff out in time.
