In May/June a side project that I'm super proud to be part of - The Vulture Is A Patient Bird, was privileged to perform at a film//poetry event at The Loft in Southsea. "Not Waving, But Drowning" was organised by The Front Room.
TVIAP scripted this piece from quotes and inspiration related to work place cultures. As a group, we take a perverse pleasure in producing something unexpected. This ethos and our working methods means improvisation, synchronicity, spontaneity and a reliance on the resources to hand have a profound affect on the performances.
What you have here is the backdrop film I put together for the performance. This video component was filmed and edited entirely by me on 'Shotcut' - a freebie video editing software from www.shotcut.org. For the upload, this video is soundtracked by a live 'demo'/rehearsal version of the performance. The live performance was powerful, witty and great fun and it went down a storm. Yes, I was going to video the live performance, but forgot to press the record button on the camera... I'm learning, ok?
