Getting Near the End


Towelling off the tropical rain, I feel this may be a moment to celebrate our month's work at Expo. By my quick calculation we've performed on 20 days so far (another two to go); one was lost to a "Day of National Mourning". I'm proud to say that we adapted and invented, and lost no days to bad weather (which drove other performers indoors!).
Our work has been creative and varied: 20 separate scenarios so far, of which no less than 12 are completely unique to Expo. We've performed singly, in pairs, trios and all together: all scenarios have consistently engaged members of the public, and we're particularly happy to have have found ways to either circumvent or obliquely include the "photohunger" of our Chinese audiences.Although we expected the heat and the humidity the actuality came as somewhat of a shock: some of our ideas had to be mothballed: this, I feel, drove us to greater inventiveness -
