Working through my aims..

In my last blog I outlined my aims for the next two weeks, this week I have managed to complete a few of those aims, some are still in the process but getting there.

• Build a contact database- I have bought myself an address book and written all my important contacts in there, and I have also created a spreadsheet for my contacts, and so far have written all the contacts I have made in that spreadsheet, so that it is easily accessible and can be updated as it needs to be. I have a bibliography of all the websites I have visited/blogged about and the books I am reading, so I will add these to the spreadsheet as well so they are all as a collective together and not just written on separate  pages which may be easily lost.  

 

• I have my meeting with Mark Webster set up for tomorrow afternoon-so this will provide me with more resources

 

• I am currently working on a logo to make 'Community Matters' more of a brand-so that if I were to plan workshops with this name then the brand will come through and I am also planning some provisional workshops- so that if this project were to develop in that way- I would have provisional plans for workshops that would be ready to go. At the moment I am using this project as a way to explore and develop my work in applied theatre through the idea of exploring communities and community theatre, but after the talk we had from Janine Goldsworthy from Rednile Projects I began to realise the importance of correct planning, and the hard work which needs to be involved. I was already aware of the things I would need to do to achieve my goals, but the presentation from Janine just further highlighted about how these things work when put into practice and what you need to do to be fully prepared, you need to plan projects as if you had already had the job, so I am trying to plan workshops that could be up and ready to go if needed.
