Looking backwards to tomorrow.

Yesterday again. Woke up still a little 'hit-by-a-bus' and with lots to organise - had quick breakfast then headed back to my studio for the final piece of the nida wave bridge piece. Found Dolores Iburrura quote (audio) and added her into the composition, exported, transferred to another computer, burned CD, arranged to go set up the equipment in the hut by the sea (in the end this happened at 7pm) then napped in between circling the melee. Did Andrew P's workshop on 'not knowing something as a start for cultural production' - part one the conversation, intriguing experiences and reflections from Anna, Jack & Drew, Hanna, Eva & Laura, (and Andrew of course) then napped, tested skype for chat with Mari in the Clearcut preservation in Finland today, loaded up the van with portable sauna and went to the seaside.

Came back for quick dinner and Marta's performance - wonderful stories and myths - then straight to Bridgeland to hang my flags, get the audio playing and wait for everyone to arrive.

The boys built sauna on the beach, people got to the terrace and started dancing, I did a short improvised performance, raised the flag and had all the residency girls pop champagne..

then we danced some more, went down to the beach and got sweaty, naked and our feet burned walking over hot coals.

Jumped into the Baltic Sea (twice) and somehow managed to evade the firemen who shut down the outdoor fire by having the stove buried into the sand and a tent over it - still time to pack up and go home. Found Jurij Dj'ing in the kitchen, danced on the table with Natalia, watched E write the board for today, had lovely compliments from the divine Egle and Marko, danced some more, went to bed.

There you go and now it's today, all starting again. Stay tuned...
