Last Tuesday in our inside/outside session considered how 'ordinary places' can become for people 'special spaces' - we spent our first session outside - followed by sharing pur experiences - near an perhaps far away - examples included how ordinary spaces for some people can become special 'holy- places - of terms of memories, enlightingly spaces, spaces that change us, invigorating spaces, natural geological or landscape spaces, personal space or people spaces, serene or anonymous spaces - we shared our thoughts and experiences and considered how these might ne enacted out dramatically on stage before our audience - a deep but by all accounts and enjoyable experience.

This week we had a interesting Inside/Outside workshop. Although we were thin in numbers because of members attending Spring Harvest is Minehead, four of us ventured out into Folkestone and observed people's mannerisms, behavior and so on. Examples included people double parking their cars in Sandgate Road, gathering in the chippy for fish and chips, enjoying the nice weather outside the local pub or guest house. Some of this we were able to act out back at base.

Some good examples to look out for are people on their mobile phones and how they talk so loudly for all to hear, people out shopping and how they behave, how cashiers great and serve you at Sainsbury's, finally drivers. Coming back to Ashford this evening, I noticed that junction 12 and 13 had cones barring the far side lane and so leaving 1 lane for us all to use. Once the cone stopped, 2 cars immediately gathering speed and sped past me and the car in front.
