galataperform exchange

We made the trip and loved it. our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We feel we have made lifelong friends with them.
All our performances were successful on their own terms. sally and Ilana worked outside in the local Galata environment, Paul David and I made work inside. David's cans of black paint had exploded in his suitcase, probably on the flight over. He turned what could have been a disaster into something very amazing.
We also did our collaborative piece at the end of our day to an audience of around 50 people. Although it was tough, as we had not done anything like that to an audience before, we got some very positive feedback.
Now it is down to finishing up the budget and evaluation and have an open day on the 21st June at 25 stratford grove to show our documentation of the festival and discuss ideas of how to take the project forward
We hope the Galata group will come to newcastle to perform.
