The Performance Poet Motor Club at The Space, Isle of Dogs, London
November 1, 2009 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Meet the performance poets. They are confused, lonely and slightly boring. Only two things count in their life, poetry and motorcycles. Every week, they meet at a secret location to perform their work for each other. At last the skies open, colors...

- The first thing that inspired me in theatre...
- What inspires me now, is completely different to what inspired me in the first place. I have always desired, like many others, to be on stage. I've always loved comedy and that inspired me, as a child I was inspired by fantasy I guess. Now what inspires me is skill and talent and brilliance (which subsequently covers many aspects of theatre.)
- My favourite theatre something is...
- Improvisation
- The thing that annoys me about our industry...
- Unemployment

I have been doing a one woman show on the life and music of the late great Welsh Diva Dorothy Squires. Took it to Edinburgh in 1998 and toured it 1999, revived it last year and took it to a couple of festivals. It charts her life and relationship ...
Inspired by a broad and diverse range of material we hope that our work informs, inspires and provokes our audiences, offering a fresh and bold re-imagination of some of the greatest works ever written.

Sorry it took so long to get back - been busy so didn't check the site for a long time.
1. Contact Improv - that was fun. I enjoyed it very much although it is a long time - 2 hours - I just had to look around and see what people were doing - the problem with that is, some people are moving fast, others slow etc so you go with who you focus on. I tried to influence the whole room so that it would be more of a ensemble improv but people are working in pairs so they are generally more into each other than the room (if you know what I mean).
Improv generally - I do a lot of that - did a week with
'Lying with the Animals' - Steve Gerber and towards the end things were getting more bizar e.g one improve I played yukeleli with one hand and harmonica with the other.
Improv - went on to do RandD at the Little Angel Theatre and finished up writing the score (based on the improvs) for "Jelly Bean Jack" which has just started and will be on there for 10 weeks.
So - I do lots of improvs and lots of writing and scoring and I enjoy it very much. Also it helps because I play Cello, Violin, Guitar, Harmonicas, perc etc. so I just pick up different things I feel are appropriate.
Its great for RandD's and gives directors a mood to work with. Then I work with that mood to extend into compositions.
Anyway hope thats what you wanted to know - feel free to ask me more. PS your site looks great and you look busy - nice one.
Kind regards
James
