Programme


We make a programme during a coffee break in the Arnolfini bar. We cut and paste entries from the blog. The first post from each venue we've worked at during the devising process. Leeds Met. Preset. Lakeside. Arnolfini. The writing gets closer to the end of the show but we still haven't made it there. It's not a mile off. The nature of marketing is always having to describe work that doesn't exist yet. To sit somewhere between the vague and the specific. The Pilots seems like a paradigm of this paradox because it sits somewhere between the ready and the unready. Half full and half empty. Half written and half unwritten. Half remembered. Half rendered. Half hearted. The work in progress will not feel too different to the finished piece. Two men reading scripts trying to work out where they are in the world and on the page. The programme itself is a work in progress. Text trying to find its place upon the page. Tim says 'Art comes in the door, common sense goes out the window.'
