The House
Carran’s Working Diary 21: Overwhelmed
We went to Salford with the concert and it was really good. Great questions and great responses to the concert and the pre concert unpacking. Now I am working through more information from the Data Protector that leaves me with so so many other questions. Nana was “in hospital” for […]
Carran’s Working Diary 20: We did it!
The House has opened to the ratepayers and they all seemed happy that the money has been spent responsibly. Bit tired now. We are preparing to travel to some other places to show the concert. We are going to Salford, Beetham, Coventry and Crewe. We are in Salford next week, […]

“Big Issue? Small Issue?” “No thank you.” Apart from the train conductor, the Big Issue/Small Issue man was the only person I spoke to on my way back to the Working House after some considerable time out. I saw a sign “We are collecting for the homeless. Period.” I think […]
Carran’s Working Diary 13: The Inbetween Time
I have been reflecting on the creation of this piece since its first tentative exposure in April this year. I have put together here in this short film a consideration of that. One question that keeps coming up concerns how Jenny and I work together on the piece. That’s quite […]
Carran’s Working Diary 12: Porters and Visiting Hours
I have spent nine days in a new section of the working house this springtime. It was a sunnier room, not exactly on a hill but it was south facing[1]. However my restless mood made me close the curtains so the builders couldn’t see my activities. The authorities must have […]
