Plan: Bee

Once, a man named Brian Riley got some friends together
because he wanted to make something beautiful
    
Then we got together and started thinkin' a lil about what could beeeeee


We agreed it should be a process, an experience involving the audience
Mind, Heart and Body
Lecture, Song & Dace

And that it should be about bees.
And their everyday magic.
And how that relates to the Human experience.

Then we took over The Bus Stop Theatre, c/o Clare & Keelin
(who's kindness and creativity shall never be forgotten)

and covered it in glitter glue.


Then we prepared to arm our audience with Kazoos, fluff balls (pollen) and wings, drum beats and tonnes of honey
 
And we didn't know really what we were doing but we just did it!



We got to see it all for the first time with the audience. which culminated in singing "Don't Worry Bee Happy" and a giant dance party/drum circle.

One of the most magical and memorable experiences of my life.

 

It is lovely when all things just come together.
