Day 591: Catching Patterns

Tasty first gig with Pattern Catchers at Duck Duck Goose in Stockwell last night - it's so exciting to be trying out something brand new with an audience. We had no idea if what we've been playing with for all this time would be satisfying for an audience or not. I think it was, and the even more exciting thing is that the more we perform, the more it will evolve. 


And I love playing with Simon. He's inventive and relaxed, effortlessly funny and a great person to be on stage with. We were introduced as 'twoprov', and although there are only two of us at the moment, that's not the only way forward. This format opens itself to more people if we want. It could be fun. I suppose what I'm saying is that there being two isn't the point... although it is blatantly the case. 

Were the patterns we caught like this? Not sure.

We also saw The Science of Living Things. They were truly delightful, well-oiled and playful, listeny, dynamic and a pleasure to watch. And I talked to another lovely Emily - one of their fold - on the train home. She was ACE. Is it just a thing that people called Emily are fabulous? If I ever have a child... let's pray for his sake that it's not a boy.
