Blag Lady features on the blog, soon!
Friday, November 14, 2008 at 23:24 
Today I interviewed Karen McCarthy (Blag Lady) for a project I'm doing with NALD. The podcast will be out soon, but I wanted to post a picture from this evening. Long time readers will remember when I did Karen's Blogging 101 course a couple years back. It was a big inspiration when I started out. @Karen - we want more!

Barking Metamorphosis - Where is the time going?
Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 12:43 
It feels like the days have been racing away this month. But that's no reason not to blog! (There are prolific bloggers who are busier than me, see here and here). This week I've started on a new project called Barking Metamorphosis. Have you ever wondered what happens when you mix a writer, architects, a forest, design students, ten nine year-olds, youth theatre students and a learning centre together?
Follow the project on our blog...

Slap Your Face, Strike a Pose - Comfort Zone Field Day
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at 00:17
Comfort Zone - Field Study Day 31.10.08 from Yemisi Blake on Vimeo.
What happens when you get two Parkour practitioners, a writer, a neuroscientist, a dancer, a photographer, a film-maker, a sound artist and two sports scientists in one room? This isn't one of my bad jokes, it was the field day held for all the artists on the Comfort Zone project. Comfort Zone has brought together artists, scientists and athletes to collaborative creatively and design a series of workshops for young people to take part in. We're currently in the development stages, which means we get to meet up and have mish-mash days when we connect our different areas. In the middle of the video you'll see an experiment put together by the film-maker Karl Stevenson and myself. Two 'athletes' must pass through the sensors and respond to commands written on pieces of paper. One you've passed through one sensor, another lights up and you must make your journey to another command. Karl very creatively put 'slap your face' as one of the commands!
