In my previous post (14 July) I interjected the question 'a tall order?', simply because what I set out may seem just that.
This may seem/be an ambitious project within a school setting, but a crucial element in it is the process, and part of that process - and indeed any creative process - is the constant reviewing, adapting, refining of it. A need to be continuously alert to what is happening, how the work is evolving, harnessing happenstance to explore a new avenue, changing tack if something isn't working. This is a principle on which my work is based; a cornerstone of my entire practice.
Therefore, I am conscious of the fact that this may be a big ask from a school community, and so if I need to review, adapt and refine, that will be part of the process, part of the story of the project.
I also strongly believe that in order to grow, to improve, you have to be at the edge of uncertainty. Indeed Philip Glass puts it very well in his Music Without Words: 'If you always know what you're doing, nothing new happens (as per my post dated 6 May 2015).
