It is beginning to feel very close to the next stage of this long complex process. On the first weekend in October, people will start flying in to Birmignham for our final devising workshops. Two weeks together, taking the play from its current outline state towards the script. Flights are booked, accommodation arranged, a schedule for the fortnight is being finalised.
In England we now have schools lined up for the main education project which will shadow the production over the next few months through to performance. Two primary schools in Birmingham are involved, and they will be making up their own performances on the same themes, as well as contributing their ideas to 'Yoghurt' itself. The latest plan is that there will also be a 'digital yoghurt' project, and we are currently looking for an artists to commission to create an environment for this project within 'Second Life' - an area of cyberspace where young people from all of our countries can vist the construction site, and explore the issues and ideas and the world of our play...... watch this space, as they say...
The biggest missing piece of the jigsaw at the moment is the UK actor. Ian and Ali who were with us on the first stages, are neither of them available now, and so tomorrow we have auditions. Somebody out there is about to join the circus.....
