I spent two weeks in the Unit 5 project space in Norwich just recently. It was lovely to move out of the bedroom and into a proper studio space to try out some new ideas and revisit old material. The first week was spent with Christina Jensen starting our process towards a sound duet we are performing at the end of the month. The next week I concentrated on remaking Private Joke for a new space, new audience, new context. PJ seemed to navigate itself to this much brighter, more spacious arena quite comfortably and the audience looked chilled out on their armchairs and sofas, with peanuts and party rings to hand. Thanks especially to Kate who manages the space and was really helpful, and Rebecca who bought her birthday entourage along and did not mind delaying her celebrations! I'll certainly work in Unit 5 again, and continue to privately joke...
