Tuesday 5th February

LONG DAY LAUGHTER:
 
Throughout a day of technical stops & starts rehearsals 
were filled with laughter – the joy of good company.
There’s an energy to every day, a pulse, an electric 
undercurrent that remains the foundation to everything. 
How low can you go? – not very in company like this. 
Hugs & hand shakes to finish off, driving into the dark
in a cold wind. Out onto the motorway with a satnav
voice for company. Flicking through channels to 
underscore the scenery flickering on the other side
of the windscreen. Headlights are stage lights, the 
road is a strip of magnetic tape running continuous 
beneath our wheels. 
A warehouse, an industrial estate on the edgeland 
of a luminous hole in the night. A door opens, a smiling 
face, familiar. Hands wave, shake, hug, a reunion in 
a deserted carpark secured with razor wire. We step 
into the cavernous interior of a giant metal box 
& there beyond the towers of flight cased electric
wonders Toby Vogel has built a cube of light. 
Our first screening of the M25 film, a synaesthetic’s 
view of a cruising circle around the edgelands of
London & the music of colours that sing on the other side
of the windscreen.
