Last night a volcanic eruption in Iceland has caused serious disruption to air traffic. As a result of this Michael Breakey who was due to travel to Ancona this morning to start building the set is instead ringing me from Heathrow trying to rebook his flight. He has only a limited time here so this is a bit of a disaster. Various people are trapped here. Andrew Quick, my colleague with Imitating the Dog who was intending to be here for 3 days only is unlikely to be able to fly home on Saturday.

The flight situation is getting worse and it is clear that our set builder Michael Breakey is not going to to be able to get here. It is an interesting situation. The problem is serious and there seems no particular reason why it should go away.

We need to find set builders in Polverigi. This is now the dominant issue that concerns us all.

In the meanwhile the team has split into 2 main groups: Dramaturgy and Design.
The dramaturgy group writes up the narrative for the performance while the design team devises our dynamic sets. Both teams work independently for the time being, while Martin is composing our musical score and Dee has begun research on costumes for individual scenes. Every night we get together in the villa's beautiful dance studio to watch films by the directors whose work we've decided to represent in our scenes: Fellini, Bergman, Godard...it's amazing the films we find on youtube!
