Object Project - theatrical version

After a year slowly accelerating ( can something slowly accelerate ? ) the poet in residency at Hall for Cornwall has finally taken off ! We will be doing lots of exciting projects including a Poetree Cafe featuring all manner of poetic installations including a range of ' I'll Eat My Words ' edible poetry cakes - but to begin with a theatrical version of the Object Project has just begun ( thank you FEAST funding ! ) . To find out what the Object Project is , click on the Mrs Potato head on the Poetree above . If you have an object that is precious to you and that has a story to tell and you would like to get involved , wherever you live , even if it is as far away as Peru ( especially if it is as far away as Peru ! ) get in touch ! I will be letting you know how the project goes and what weird and wonderful things we discover . We will use the objects to inspire new songs , stories , poems and animations and these will be featured in a travelling cabinet of curiosities . Here's a picture of the Dame from HFC's xmas panto showing me his tin of treasures that he takes with him on tour - we are hoping to pop into the dressing room of all the visiting artists and find out what they carry with them ... he said I could borrow his boobs on his day off !
