ICD / Ship o'Fools / Theatre in the Mill, Bradford…

Do you get it, and if so, what is it?

Answers to the above question, given by audience participants:

Thurs 1st July 2010:

There's probably more than one "it".  Life's a journey & we're all at sea. Pulling together helps keep us afloat.

A series of unrelated tasks and events about ships. [plus notes and diagrams]

1.That's an answer. 2. We get it sometimes. 3. Sometimes it's only opinion.

It's life, sometimes you get it, sometimes - not, but can be sometimes easy, sometimes tough.

It's an imaginary boat ride across the real inner world.

Opposite, Connect, Bridge, Journey, Maker, travel, Creator, Contrast, Choice… Choice.

I don't think I do. This is a bit like an exam.

YoHoHo - Nearly got it. The Ship worked and was certainly full of fools.

No. But I'm not sure that's the point anymore.

I got a wet bottom. The sea. The journey. The life. EXPLORE.

We get DIRECTIONS from within or we look around for it.

 

I'm not sure if I do get it but I'm also not sure if I care either… The question is a bit ponsey / metaphorical. There were things that I got from it, but that isn't the question.

This is the journey to the internal to external via the conscience bridge.

YES. The passing of time & light. The movement of space & sea. The connection of people & rest.

 

I DON'T GET IT. Cause it's lots of things. Lots of spaces, questions, propositions, openings, meeting points, senses, invitation.

Do I get it? Probably - but it was many things.  What was it? It was about journeying - it was about making & playing; it was about memory / about childhood.

 

No. Enough time to float.

The journey of life in a ship of fools.

Friday 2nd July 2010:

Life is many things, ups & downs

Tension & tide

Sometimes you should just jump on the hammock &

Relax,

Others maintain the tension to keep sailing

Decide correctly.

 

Yes

Do I get it? I Have to, or else I'd get I'll die. What is it? Veg. {Diagram of a carrot}

 

It's all about drunken sailors building boats.

YES, and No also. At the same time as each other. I'm on the fence you see.

 

No I don't think so

But is it time - your time, our time together at any one point, my time alone.

I may never get it, but my journey to discover it will be full of adventure.

 

Yes maybe

It's what you wan it to be

 

Do you get it?   I NO LONGER GET IT

What is it?         THE BEANO

 

Saturday 3rd July 2010:

Yes… I understood the concept! Fantastic participation and interaction with the audience throughout… Fantastic ship-building and notion of the sea journey! Well Done!

 

The LOVE. YES YES YES

 

Rummy Fun FUN!

It's here, there and now -

With tension

Climbing up

Swinging along

NO, I don't get 'it', but much of life is a mystery. But isn't that part of the fun.

 

AIR

Haven't a clue. BUT what good fun. Mum in-law x

 

A journey into the human

 

I mostly get it and it's quite good.

 

I've never got it! It wasn't me.

 

 

Sometimes I do get it. But it doesn't happen often.

However when it does happen I have no idea what it is…

Was I supposed to?

Probably…

But then again maybe not.
