The Narrow Stage - It was a marathon - all thirty three feet of the narrowboat's aisle: three shows in one evening. The first was still in daylight, the second two after dark, which was when the show really came alive. → 
Where Water is its own Performance - With the story trail being previewed this weekend and ready for the public on Monday (eeek) our attention turns to the performance. Following our site visit we were able to finetune the piece to embed it to its narrowboat stage. And with the story trail episodes all in place we were also finally in the position → 
Untangling the Tib - What you have above is the inner workings of our collective mind. Hmm. Step away, and be grateful you can.
