PESSIMISM OF THE INTELLECT,
OPTIMISM OF THE WILL

2016 in numbers

9/1/2017

0 Comments

 
There's a lot of new work coming up in 2017. Over the next few weeks I'll write posts about each of the upcoming and ongoing projects.

In the meantime, though, in keeping with annual tradition, here's a somewhat delayed audit of last year.

Public performances given: 98
of which:
Tiny Heroes
: 8
We're Stuck: 32
Error 404: 13
The Price of Everything: 4
Scratch performances towards the making of Safe House: 3
Miscellaneous collected short pieces: 1

Public performances of work I wrote but wasn't in: 5
of which:
Talking Statues: 
1 (although this was an audio piece, so you could say it was as many performance as there were people who downloaded it. Unless they all listened to it at once.)
We're Here: 3
Nice Walls: 1

Panel discussions and that sort of thing: 7

Weeks of R&D on Thinner Blood (Dick Bonham's new show which I'll be directing this autumn): 4
Amount of material to show for it: a full draft in good working order

Weeks of R&D on Safe House (my own new show, which goes into rehearsal in a fortnight): 4
Amount of material to show for it: some decent ideas which don't hang together

New writing word counts:
Tiny Heroes (10837)
We're Here (1090)
Nice Walls (584)
Talking Statues (388)
Why I Don't Wear Shoes (1256)
Safe House (countless discarded drafts)
Plus a handful of short pieces that will never see the light of day and unquantifiable attempts that didn't come out.

Successful applications submitted: 3
Unsuccessful applications submitted: 13
​

Performances cancelled: 6
of which:
because of poor administration: 1
because of poor sales: 2
because my wife went into early labour: 2
because of rioting: 1
