Editors’ blog LDN ’10 – The showcase
Share By Cristina Balma Tivola The show is not over. It is simply at its second edition, and – as Laurent says – ready to hit Tokyo next year. With this news he greets everybody at the end of the performance Friday night. The last two days of the week represented the public restitution of [...]
Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 5
Share This blog is a little late but the aftermath of day 5 was rather large this time round. And so Original Cultures London 2010 ends just as quick as it begun in many ways. Everyone has left and life is slowly returning to normal. The last day was a blur for me. The artists [...]
Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 4
Share It’s funny how fast time goes during these weeks – it’s as if it was only yesterday I was thinking we still had 3 days ahead of us. In reality we’re as close as it’s going to get with the show in less than 24 hours and pressure and excitement are competing and keeping [...]
Artist Blog LDN ’10 – Om Unit Day 4
Share So after having yesterday off to do something people call a job (I call it hanging out with teenagers and making beats/talking about life) we got together to round off the writing and rehearsals, after a banging Turkish breakfast at Olive’s in Hornsey which brought back memories of being 24, fancy free and probably [...]
Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 3
Share Improvisation is the name of the game, not just for the artists who start from improvised ideas and develop them into a full show in the space of a few days but also for us at the level of organisation. Even the best laid plans require a degree of flexibility and this time round [...]
Editors’ blog LDN ’10 – Visual arts workshops
Share By Cristina Balma Tivola I met Alessandro (one of the Original Cultures organisers) at Dalston Kingsland train station at noon on the second day of the London event. Laurent, the organiser with whom I have until now maintained contact via email regarding Original Cultures, will arrive later. My interest in the project comes from [...]
Artist Blog LDN ’10 – Om Unit Day 2
Share Today I re-discovered the sandwich world deli in Hornsey. Bangin. Oh and we made some more music! It’s all about the art of stitching ideas together at the moment, that and for me trying to let go of my producer perfectionist ears, I have to remember this is supposed to be fun! And it [...]
Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 2
Share The picture above sums up the day quite well in a way. Like I said yesterday I’ve realised quickly and harshly that getting ten/fifteen people travelling around London without problems isn’t really easy and doing it by public transport only makes it more of a headache. Still though it’s part of the fun and [...]
Artist Blog LDN ’10 – Om Unit Day 1
Share Photo by Charlie Whatley. So after recovering from my 30th birthday party on Saturday night, I awoke early doors this morning to head up to North London to get to the rehearsal rooms for O.C London. As it turned out the rehearsal space was really a communal space in a converted musician live/work space [...]
Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 1
Share And so it starts again. The second original cultures event. We’ve swapped the heat of summer and the historic streets and old buildings of Bologna for the less scenic streets, though still inspiring in their own ways, of a rainy London in early spring. That’s the beauty of this project, being able to transport [...]
