Liverpool - April 2008
Dream Think Speak (www.dreamthinkspeak.com) at the Anglican Cathedral was exciting, inventive and one of the highlights of the 2008 programme. The installation/performance, conceived and directed by Tristan Sharps made use of pretty much every nook and cranny of the Anglican Cathedral. The project integrated local performers, worked collaboratively with local institutions (including Hope Street Ltd and LIPA) and provided something totally new for the city, that has enthralled the public, but also local artists who will certainly have learned from this and will inspire their work in the future. This is one of the things that makes Capital of Culture... Before I embarked on my Grand Tour, Claire Hamilton, presenter of BBC Radio Merseyside's culture programme interviewed me. During 2008, and suggested by the wonderful radio presenter and producer, Angela Heslop, I'm participating in a series of 'conversations' with key people I met during my travels. My first was with Graz journalist Thomas Wolkinger.
