current planning document
The Witch Star Project (WSP) is simply a product of these pages; coordinating small but multiplatform and collaborative works of expeditionary art & design.
So, for example, every presentation of this page will be doing “exactly what it says on its tin.” It’s just a story - done for a bit of fun; a play within a play in real time, played out through an endless series of auditions and rehearsals that will inform our numerous while barely credible presentations (to the commissioners at Channel Four Television) proposing a production by our people of -
- a mockumentary style musical designed to follow that relatively small gang of self-defined misfits who are - while living on the streets of Brighton, and from their “cathedral gift shop” which is now sprawling across that pavement outside the Chapel Royal in North Street - selling guided tours of a cathedral that does not exist.
Plan
We'll pay a female blues singer/guitarist to play a short set during Thursday’s Typewriters & Vinyl night at The Poets pub in Hove. It would be a performance recorded and then uploaded onto YouTube.
Meanwhile - as the great Alex Harvey would have said.
Teams of skilled negotiators are trying to persuade Suzyanne Edo Takahashi to return to her family in Japan.
But Suzyanne has continued taking cash from her trust fund to finance the development of an augmented reality app (modelled on Pokémon Go) which our street gang has been persuading gullible tourists to download onto their mobile phones.
And then, later - after dark, Suzyanne can be seen in the company of Berlin Sally, a blues musician [and another Lemon Tree Guest House resident] performing set pieces from their new "musical” [Songs from The Dead See Doom Scrolls] at one of Brighton’s lesser-known karaoke bars [which has recently changed its name to The End is Nigh].
Next step: Peter might ask x club's sound engineer (Des) to suggest a few potential singers.
