and then there was a break in which a lady doll came and threatened people slowly to music. this freaked people out an appropriate amount especially as the guests had all been required to send us their very own childmares in either image or word form (some were more obedient than others) and this was one of them being enacted. most childmare submissions had come to us only that day or the day before so we had but a sliver of time to bring them to life. this was just the nod necessary. we have made the commitment to do this again on Friday so keep your eyes peeled if you brought us one.
mr ellams then returned with a fine rendition of his magnificent piece Knight Watch. he’ll be performing it again on Friday so i shall say no more here, except that it must be seen.
finally i was heckled by passersby three stories down while singing love for sale to a bright full moon only lightly shrowded in cloud “yaaay, sing some more!” so i turned to them and belted a couple of lines their way. this must have been my favourite moment of the evening as it highlighted the newness, the strangeness of this thing we were doing, and brought the streets in to us.
the excitement for me in taking this forward is in making an entirely unique experience for people each and every show that we do. the venues will change, the themes will change, the format will change – it may not even be performance but could be an undercover laser fight on Hampstead Heath. these are the Secret Soirees that we want to bring to you – requests will be accepted and thoroughly examined and perhaps also executed depending on their potential – let us know what you dream of doing in London for the night and we shall see if we can make it happen.
cookies and a goodnight kiss,
