Laura comes Home

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:35:00 -0400

Oh, and I'm the familiar underground cavern of the Glasgow Arches venue, prepping to deliver the very serious and totally genuine performance appeal for two New Works New Worlds audiences.

Friday night's performance is sold out but there are still some tickets for Saturday at 9.10pm so it would be lovely to see you there.

I'm really encouraging feedback on the work at this point in it's development so if you manage to see it and have some thoughts, please share them with me! You can post comments, send me an email on hcuinn@hotmail.com, leave a message in the comments book at the venue or come up and tell me what you thought in the festival bar!

Brighton Rock(s)

Was performing at Brighton's Coachwerks venue this weekend as part of their experimental performance festival. fantastic crowd and lovely hand crafted venue - check out www.coachwerks.org.uk for more info and to join their mailing list

The first outing of the new performance appeal went down really well, but as yet, no positive sightings of her

- I think we can conclude she isn't in Brighton (I looked everywhere: in my host's spare bedroom, on the way to and from the venue, down the famous lanes, in the Pavillion, on the pier, in the icecream shop and all along the seafront, searching the horizon for some sort of answer)

The search continues...

Laura Who?

Yesterday I decided to make friends with as many Laura Quinn's as possible...

Got a bit of a shock as the second entry under Laura Quinn on facebook is a girl with a heart shaped jaw and red hair...on closer inspection, I don't think it's her BUT wow! Freaky coincidence!

So far, one Laura has replied offering help but not accepting my friend request (very wise, I think!)

Exciting updates

Things have been moving on in the search for Laura...

Firstly, I have made contact with an old schoolfriend who also remembers Laura, she is living in Glasgow so we will arrange a meeting and hopefully some clues and old stories will emerge

ALSO, the first of a series of performance appeals has been scheduled and I will be making an official plea at the New Work New Worlds festival which is held at the Arches in July...

More info soon

Looking roond the toon

Did some real time searching this weekend, but still no joy.

Keen to make contact with anyone who was living in Dunfermline between the years 1991-1997, especially if they were student of Queen Anne High school or a member of the Abbey Brownie pack under Brownie leader Mrs Johnstone.

The search continues...

I couldn't wait

I've started to look... casually but looking nontheless

I looked on Facebook and Friends Reunited. I haven't found her yet.

Meanwhile, I started a Looking for Laura Quinn facebook group

Feel free to join it and spread the word!

The search begins...

In the run up to a New Year, people often make resolutions to better their life...as a practicing artist I make resolutions to make new work.

I often think of my encounters with Laura Quinn and wonder what happened to her. So now in 2009 I am making a concerted effort to track the mystery and begin to look for her.

For the record, I'm actually not sure if I want to find her. I really love the story I tell, I love the mystery and the not knowing...does she really exist, are we really that similar at all? Finding her might be the death knell to the creativity of this project.

However, by starting in some minor way to look for her, I take the first steps of a journey to discovering something (anything) new and the not knowing what will happen is as exciting as not knowing what happened with her.
