old police station forum

Sorry guys quite a lot of me today!
Here is the link to be added to the new OPS forum if you haven't got it from Lucy.

  I think it is a great idea to meet more people from there and keep up with what is going on. I had a look at some of the blogs and they are quite interesting, we should may be add more stuff on ours! Anyway I am updating it a little to introduce a bit more the group.
I might try to come down on Friday for the cake meet!

CALENDAR

About calendar,
 About the Wednesday morning.
I don't need wed morning next week so can take the afternoon as N&A won't be using that slot.
I won't be using the Wed morning the 20th and 27 of April.
Also next week I can't do the Thursday afternoon so if N&A you can swap with me that day great otherwise you can stay longer as I won't be coming.
Let's play by ear for the rest...

04/.04 meeting notes

Hello everybody,
 Sorry for delay in writing up the notes I have been a bit hectic. I would like to apologise for those who came on Monday due to a problem with childcare I had to bring my little monster with me and she was not a very good collaborator! So I sort of over heard only the conversation. But I thought that what was being said about process and methodology was quite relevant and could be develop further. My question to the group for this week was about how we work, what is the creative process we follow? do we follow a methodology? How do we record our process?
Nicole said that the process was different depending with who she is working, but that in general verbal discussion is the initial way to start moving ideas.
Sophie talked about a sort of anxiety around the idea of body and mind and mapping your thoughts into physicality; to be clear about what we do.
Something about restriction - technique and technology shaping the creative process....but here I have some gaps and might need your input to recollect. PLEASE COMMENT
I thought we could perhaps discuss that a bit further when we next meet.
Another idea mentioned is the idea of a 'scrapboard' (growing out of what Nicole and Antonio have started with the post-it on the wall. We could use a whole in the studio to map our creative process independently but in a sort of open source way.so when we come to the studio we could have a glance at others process. I like the fact that it would be organically growing in the space along with the work. But I am not completely sure of how to construct it. Sophie mentioned a flip chart...any other ideas?...

Next meeting Monday 18th 12pm

Meeting

Hello,
It was really good to meet most of you ( Sophie we missed you!!) today and here is just few notes from our first meeting:
We had a general introduction to talk a bit each about the  rich and interesting work and project that we are all working on. We thought it would be good to have sort of notice board on the blog to let know each other of opportunities (residencies, festival, platforms) as well as performances and parties!
We also proposed to try to keep the meeting to a fortnight ( and re-assess if we realise  that not enough can make it) but we did not have the time to fix the next meeting so I think the propose date could be Tuesday 5th of April from 12:30 to 1:30pm but as Antonio can't make any Tuesday we might not want to keep it as a regular meeting date we could perhaps alternate with either Mondays or Friday. Let's confirm what we can do...?
We also proposed that the meeting would be half (or less than half) logistic and the other half creative. To give a bit more structure to our feedback, we thought that each of us could ask a question to the group about their work (this can be quite broad and could include technical question or philosophical or whatever other dimension you might want to get us into!!!) we can also show extract of something to ask something specific...
I have updated the design of the blog, so now each time that you are posting something on the blog it is automatically emailed to each members so we don't have to sign in to see what is going on. The way I set it up is that all of us are authors so we can all post and change the design of the blog. I have also added some labels ( which are categories for the different kind of posts) when you post a message you can choose or create a label at the bottom of the message box and it will archive it there. So far there are the following: Post it ( I thought was just for admin stuff), Sketchbook and Meeting. we also have a label with each of our name ( I kept it as company to be simple). It appears as a list on the left inside.
We have also updated the calendar so that everybody has roughly 4 slots each/week so far all week ends are free. The calendar is on a different page and can only be changed by us from google calendar.
So now let's try to confirm the date of the next meeting and fix a regular day.
If I manage to fit everything this week I would love to go to the party on Friday and Kaya talked about a other event happening on April 1st, may be you can blog the invite..?
