well i thought i would start this blog as a way of re opening our conversation

i adored these images...i will find the artists name

hi nicki, brian, dan and liz,

this artist is showing in the contemporary gallery next to malthouse...what is artists name?

so this blog is: briannickimargi@blogspot.  i know that metro you are starting a webpage, but until that happens i thought i would set this up so that brian nicki and i could start talking again. i am very alive after seeing such strong works at Melbourne Festival (and brian i did not see yours but i did go the space you were performing and saw the young artists who were acting out ideas around Home, and i think you would have seen the fridge, and on opening the freezer there were polar bear figures in what appeared ot be snow, but was in actuality the insides of a nappy!!!!!  also what was intriguing was the triggering of the dancers.  when someone laughed, for example the actor/artist/dancer began to dance in a very disjointed and quietly spirited way. i so enjoyed the 1/2 hour i spent with the young artists, and smiled and giggled at the 'hair' that was coming out the pipe of the sink...a huge hair ball...so disgusting but remarkably real!!!!  I also saw Hotel Pro Forma's production and adored some of the things they did: i did not read the program before i saw the show, so i found that the words dripped over me, the music surrounded me and made little sense, except as the individual words hit my psyche...so overall my understanding of the piece was minute by minute....i also saw some fabulous visual art and i am posting some of the images here, not least of all because the babies reminded me of our illustrious journeyer Dan Evans!!!!  lets keep this conversation building and then we can just cut and paste this into the official blog when it gets legs.  warmest margi
