Day 3 Otherhood Play RnD

Sketch a day - Day 169/365

Today was epic. We are all up for it but also tired. I feel like a sponge that has sat in a sink and taken in all the water it can hold. But what waters we have been swimming in. It's so exciting.

The work is not work that anyone in the room feels they know exactly how to do. Challenge challenge challenge. But there is so much joy in that. And the team are all immensely generous and courageous.

I feel like we are all leaping off a high thing together. I LOVE working in this way. It is amazing and also scary as hell. But what is the point of making something that you already know how to make?

Ask me about this question on the other side…

On a sketching front, I finally caught a face and felt I had done it justice. I was really pleased with today's sketch of Beth.

The same can't be said of my sketch of Vicky Ackroyd (who was in helping us think about embedded access within the audio of the show. She is awesome - thank you Vicky) or of director Deborah Pakkar-Hull (my partner in crime at Old Bird). I entirely mangled their faces and feel I achieved around 1/17th of their likenessess. Which is as close to a face melting that anyone would want to get. Apologies Vicky and Deborah.

Later, in frustration I ended up doing a kind of - scribble, no look, pen doesn't leave the page - sketch of various people in the room (Deborah, Vicky and Leanne). I ended up quite liking this one. Just because of the ways it captured the movement in the space.

I don't think I have any more words today.

That's the news.
