It has certainly been a long time and I feel like I should round up information on the Road to Nowhere residency. After meeting with Tuija at Louhitalo, I helped Nicola by photographing and videoing her performance Follow the Bear.
By the end it got so busy especially on our arrival back to Helsinki that my inner blogger got a bit squashed. Nicolas performance as Miss Evente went well as did the rest of the Night of the Arts, though personally I feel that there was less of a crowd compared to previous years.
There has also been much conversation and critique on why it is being hosted on a friday. Apparently when it was on a thursday evening people came out and the crowd was more electrified and interested in the happennings. An exciting thing did happen on the night though and which has since come in to being. The band that played in Jangva Gallery - Tristan – was in need of a singer which I have now become. It is fantastic to be singing regularly again and giving my brain and vocal chords a needed push.
The Kyllä Tunnen Syntymäsi (Yes, I know your birth) project is going well and in the next couple of days I will be handing in my first set of grant applications. They were a lot harder to finish possibly because I was writing in Finnish but I am happy to report that there are only a couple more sentences and a proper seperate detailed copy of the budget to be done and printing the pages and well then its all good. So basically am confident it will get done.
