One or the Other
So, what a great few days at the Barbican Pit, experimenting with slapstick and a trio. A huge thank you to Adebayo Bolaji and Stuart King, without whom the custard pies and hitting with saucepan lids to the sound of a ‘doooiiiiinnnng’ wouldn’t have been possible. We’ll be working on this further and bringing the...
Filament at Barbican Pit
At last, some news! Whilst the travails of sorting out a venue or venues for Momo continue, we are going to be working at the Barbican to develop a whole new idea through the Pit Lab at Barbican/Guildhall. We’ll start work at the end of April, and hope to have something ready to share at Tête...

Momo R&D 2
We have completed our second phase of work on Momo, which saw two sharings, one at South Street Arts Centre (who hosted us between 9th and 13th April) and one at Greenwich Theatre, where we were part of their children’s festival. We had a wonderful group of actors, David Cumming, Charlie Folorunsho, Luisa Guerreiro, Danny...
Hour Lily
Today saw us seriously note-bashing as the cast came even more to grips with Figaro’s application to the Time Saving Bank, The Magic Mirror, Find Me a Stone, Life’s Better with Momo and finally – the Hour Lilies. And here’s one Emma Wee made earlier! It’s an hour lily! How it really works you can...

Don’t forget you are welcome to come to South Street...

We’ll be putting more music on the cloud soon as our next...
A Lily and a House
Osnat found this image whilst gathering research for her composition for the music of the hour lilies, which I think will be one of the most beautiful sections of MOMO. We’re meeting next thursday when Emma (designer), Annie (dramaturg) and I will hear the first stages of the next compositions. Meanwhile, there’s a great new initiative which...
Dramaturgy as wind howls
So having met for our last planning session at Paddington station where the chilly north wind gets to even the cosiest corners, Osnat and I moved New Year operations to the Royal Festival Hall, where we were joined by dramaturg Annie Siddons and designer Emma Wee. Having settled ourselves on the top floor, we talked...
