Day four of As It Happens… saw many more visitors, coming to the Sunday Soirée showcasing our week’s work. I did four more performances, bringing the total to 28 performances over the four days. Quite an achievement, I think, but when it was over I had quite a strong sense of anti-climax. People went their separate ways. It would have been nice to go for a drink together and unwind.
One thing I liked about the Soirée was there were children there, who saw my performance. I could hear them laughing sometimes when I was inside the bag; they liked this wriggling, strange creature. I feel pleased that my work was appreciated by people of all ages, but I’m particularly happy that children responded to it.
