Blogs

Yeah, so, cool, we have had the website converted to Drupal, which means we can manage the content ourselves online, providing more up-to-date information and also adding this blog page! Which is great for the future but means that, at the moment, the site is missing all its pretty pictures because Dave and I have both been away and haven't had the time to add them...but we will soon, and then it will be prettier than ever!

The most exciting Upintheair news at the moment is that we are off top Montana and Alberta (with a winter trip to Winnipeg sometime later) to start creation work on our next new sho, Johnny Grant, which will be built around the life story of my great-great-great grandfather, a Metis mountainman and cattle trader in the mid-late nineteenth century. Look out for pics and updates from the trip in September!

What the hell? How do artists stay creative when they have to work regular or irregular jobs just to stay afloat? Not to mention pay off massive student loans. My trip to Europe this last month (the spaghetti is better) opened my heart and mind to the thought that I personally needed to be working towards more public performance. Upintheair is doing great. We are moving towards our artistic goals, getting more and more support from the community and the funding bodies and continue to
create opportunities for young emerging artists. So how did I suddenly become an administrator? That's the question.

Meeting every week with long and shot term creative goals over the next few months will hatch a new series of creative pieces I hope to showcase sometime in the next year. Keep your eyes open and I'll be sure to warn you about upcoming events. If you are interested in finding out more about what we do in our Callisthenic sessions email me at dave@upintheairtheatre.com

Ciao for Now!
