Hello friends,
First and foremost, welcome to Untrained Effort: the new name of my newsletter! I have been attending some Substack classes and the first advice is to name your publication. So I am resurrecting the UE name (maybe some of you remember my COVID podcast?? Yes, I was THAT type of lockdown person… sorrynotsorry).
Secondly, I am very excited to share with you the recording of my Instagram Live which I did last week when we performed Becoming British in Rotherham. I have always wanted to give it a go and see how we can make our live performances and projects more interactive. It was great to see over 30 people pop in to watch and ask really beautiful questions after. Thank you for all who joined!
I saw that Substack has the option of uploading videos so couldn’t resist trying it out. I know many of you have very busy lives or might not have Instagram so now you can catch up whenever you please.
I was also wondering if you would like more of this type of content as part of my Substack? I want to grow what I offer on this platform and so many of you have been with me since the beginning of the newsletter so I really trust your voice! Let me know what you think in the poll below:
Thank you so much for giving me your opinion.
If you’d like to dive in the recording, I’ve done a little cheat sheet so you can skip to what you fancy watching the most:
From 0 to 13min: introduction and exhibition
From 13min to 37min: Performance
From 37min to 59min: Q&A with Claire and I
From 59min to end: back in the Performance space
Enjoy! And if you fancy seeing the exhibition at ROAR in Rotherham, come visit: it’s up all month until Friday 28th March. Opening times apply.
And as ever, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
