Ok, I knew this would happen - me trying to give an account of what I have been doing and where I went in 2007 in chronological order but of course I can't keep up. Now it's already July and I am putting up pictures of my trips in February now! However, the good thing about it is it'll be mainly pictures and a summary of what and why cause I tend to ramble. Like now... :)
Anyway, in February I was fortunate enough to go to NYC again, this time on a project with Anna Birch, the theatre director I work with here in London. Wollstonecraft Live! was a show we did on Newington Green, London in September 2005 (www.wollstonecraftlive.com). We were invited to the AIR Gallery, NYC to give a performance talk about WL!. So Anna, her daughter Jess, Kaethe, the Writer of WL! and I tracked to NYC for 5 days; Anna with the three dresses and other peculiar baggage. That was quite funny because the custom people at JFK said that this was one of the most unusual luggage they have ever seen. Our performance talk was on a Friday night and then we had the whole weekend to enjoy NYC. Loved it!
Just before we landed at JFK a snow storm had broken loose and we had to wait for 15min before they could park our plane. They had to get snowcars in to clean our parking slot. Still in the taxi into the city the storm went on, but this is how it looked a few hours later when we got picked up by Daria, our host.
This is how it looked the next day... : /
The subway at Christopher Street
Jess and I
Daria and myself in the AIR Gallery, wearing nose warmers of one of the exhibiting artists :)
This is one of Daria's art pieces, a very cool hand-made hat.
Anna, Jess and I clearly relieved after the performance talk. I'll spare you with pictures in a squared dress and hat of myself :)
My friend Stefan who came to see the talk and with whom we went for drinks afterwards.
Anna and Jess in a bus when we went down to the South tip of Manhattan.
The most Southern point in Manhattan. Absolutely beautiful in the snow with the sun out.
The ferry to Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty.
Anna at the entrance of Lucky Strike
Kaethe and I in Lucky Strike
The trip was great but it was absolutely freezing. I don't think I've ever been that cold.
