Executive Journal
Letty’s Litany,
I’ve been awfully silent on this blog for a while but I’m sure you can sympathise. Third term, three weeks until the festival, I’ve barely had time for my own family of late. But over the last few months there have been some highlights here at AF towers which have gone partially un-documented.
First of all,… [click the title to continue reading]
Letty’s Litany: Numero 6
tra-la!!!!!
At the moment we are very busy programming(…hence our silence…)and three people in particular have been working non-stop, but things have really started to tick over now, it’s all shaping up nicely like a lovely peach.
I’ve been doing a creative apprenticeship in the education department at Aspex (Portsmouth’s beautiful contemporary art gallery- check it out.)… [click the title to continue reading]

It’s coming, ladies and gents!
Soon this elusive ‘thing’ we have been calling the Accidental Festival 2010 will have a shape – a strange and beautiful beast is emerging from our pool of applications and I’m pretty much as excited as I was when I busted a move to Jedwards ‘Ice Ice Baby’ in a club… [click the title to continue reading]
Letty’s Litany: Numero 5
Each year the festival runs into the same problems, we never expect to but according to previous years and tutors, we do. It is only natural that people should run into these issues; the festival planning process is such a long one that it is hard to keep momentum and moral up throughout.
At the moment I… [click the title to continue reading]
Letty’s Litany: Numero 4
We’re all back from hibernation and it’s the start of a new term and a new year. I for one am vowing not to let myself get as stressed as I did in 2009. So far I’ve noted the group in general are a lot calmer and more relaxed. Sadly however, everyone seems to be… [click the title to continue reading]

The last two weeks have been very busy: alongside planning for the festival we have been studying Butoh, the Japanese ‘Dance of Darkness.’ This has not only provided me with aches and pains, but also new-fangled ideas on how we can review group process (I know, what a cliché to express ourselves through the medium… [click the title to continue reading]

Hello, beautiful people. This is my first blog for the Accidental Festival website so whoop whoop… I’m not sure where to begin. Our group is in a pretty exciting place right now – after months of venue searching madness, we’ve finally entered into talks with the Battersea Arts Centre about securing… [click the title to continue reading]
Valmar’s Vigil: Numero 1
Where should I start. I should be happy but there are few things that left a bad taste in my mouth. I heard that our festival president received an anonymous e-mail from somebody who wasn’t happy with the planning so far. I guess people want more attention … or power. I am actually glad that people who send out… [click the title to continue reading]

Rather vainly, I have agreed to a log of my experiences working on the Accidental Festival. I was hoping I would be asked to write critically about London’s art scene, but I am content with this.
The most amazing thing about working on the festival is I am surrounded by people far more intelligent than myself,… [click the title to continue reading]
