Where I began and where I ended up…  with this piece… was a ‘mad’ journey…

SO, so, so sorry it has taken me this long to get it up.. I have so much footage 2 edit but so little time.. lol…  Thanks Steph Hernandez for directing… I must add it is a work in progress…. and I am hoping to to ‘develop and build’ on this. Thanks for your time 1gone.

Sorry with the late post peeps…

This is the introduction to Male B again the first time you see or hear him is in his personal space.. his bedroom.

Walks into new Bedroom with box of personal items (pictures, trophies, etc)

I’m in a new ends, I’m in a new area

Territory unfamiliar but strangely similar,

This is the introduction you could say to Male A the first time you get to see or hear any of the characters is in their personal ’space’ or ‘place’, THE BEDROOM.

(Male A in Bedroom smoking listening to music (D’n'B/Jungle) on stereo, really into it)

Hello it’s been a while….!! The last couple of month has been a very hard and sureal period in my life, I am now getting back focused and ‘catching up’…. I would like to say a BIG THANKYOU to all of my APPLES N SNAKES & MPOY family.

Hello how doing my homies/crew/peoples? been alongtime…… well a few weeks lol….. need to catch up on whats been going on in all the different places… respect to all those that have left comments I will get back to each and everyone… I promise… been on a another residency. This time not Youth orientated.. (felt it was important to gain different perspective) I spent time with a Middle age woman who was born in India and moved to England and discussed her views on home and sense of place.. It was very,  very interesting and alot of what was discussed was ‘parrallel’ and  almost identical to my thoughts on leaving Birmingham and now living in Derby…. I did record it  ( why ask..lol) and will be editing it and putting up nex week.  I have also ‘kinda’ finalised where I am going with my piece….  Postcode Purgatory (working title).

Hello how is everyone? hope you all had a great Christmas and New years…. 09 is here and I feel…. ‘highly’ motivated and ready… as I ‘kinda’ always do in January… (seems to always filter out mid Feb…lol).  Any ways I’ve been mad busy writing ideas.. and on my residencies I have a few more left… but so far it’s been amazing, eye opening…. etc….. will be posting a few more vids as well… got to edit them…. need more hours in the day… but.. TIME management is key this year… anyway… check these out….. bless 1 gone yazeemi

RUKADIARY MPOY SPECIAL PART 2 (Residencies 1 of 2)

“Yeaah!!! boooyy”… (in a Flava Flav style..lol) Just a short one really.. I have now been assigned a mentor well.. actually it was a few weeks ago….lol and I am paired with Angie Bual, the producer from the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith …. and I am really happy with that…. to be honest I wouldn’t have minded anyone of the mentors having spoke to most of them…. but I had two in my mind that I felt best ’suited’ my vision and what I was doing….. erm!! and Angie was one so thanks!!!.  I’m in the Mids and she is in London… (soon to be moving further afield) so face-to-face won’t always be easy… and ‘randomly’ poping in won’t be an option..lol THANKS to technology we can still connect via phone, email.. etc…. (Nb: Dom I’m still not ‘SKyped up’ will be getting on that this weekend… soz mate)

We had our first chat about the project and after saying hello…. well I ‘kinda’ just went into this 10 min ’speed talk’ about what I’m doing? asking how should I do it.. third person, first person? should I tell a story?… Do I need characters? should I be myself?…. lets just say it may have been a ‘baptism of fire’ for Angie… SORRY Angie ……. after a moment to catch my breath….  and Angie to ’soak it all in’…….. we ended saying that we will meet face -to-face in the next couple of weeks or early Jan and that I would get my key dates etc … to her.   I hope she doesn’t think I’m a bit of a ‘looney’……….. maybe I am.. ummmmm!!! one gone yazeemi
