I wanted to start this blog as a way of keeping in touch with everybody during this journey that started almost a year ago. More importantly I wanted to start this blog by saying 'Thank You' to each and every person who has given their time, energy, creative, support to this project, because without you all, this journey would not have even begun, let alone taken the paths, and turned the corners that it has and will continue to take.
The Glue started off as a simple idea about nine completely different individuals who enter an environment where they are forced to confront the prejudices, fears, issues and questions that they
have about themselves and each other.
But after putting it out there and seeing the support from so many different people, who wanted to get involved regardless of the fact that there was no budget, no payment and not really knowing any more than a paragraph about the project, it became so much more. It started to take shape and form, and each day, from each situation, circumstance and experience it is becoming something that reflects and represents more than just a script, or an idea.
These are early days, and there is something equally scary and exciting about that fact. I have such high hopes for The Glue, but I am more than aware of the hard work, time and commitment it has taken and will take. This experience to me, is like the concept of The Glue, and how people who have never met each other; people from different countries, of different ages, ethnicities, with different skills, backgrounds, and experiences, can come together and contribute to something because they want to, and because they believe in it.
Before this journey began I will be honest and say I had no idea how hard it was going to be. Everytime I feel tired, or stressed, or frustrated because of technical issues, I just remember how fortunate I am to have met and worked with so many amazing individuals, and how inspired I am, and that's all it takes to get going again.
I'll be writing this blg as often as I can, and sharing the weird and wonderful things that are happening as the project develops and progresses.
Thanks again x
