Step up. Step left. Step right. Stop tanks. Risk life. Go home.
‘Tank Man’ has now been developed and rehearsed with Gillian Lees performing. It has become a beautiful physical piece as well as having a special resonance with the stimulus of the real ‘Tank Man’ from the Beijing protest of 1989.
We have confirmed times for ‘Tank Man’ at the Edinburgh Fringe ‘09:
8pm, Monday 24 August and 8pm, Tuesday 25 August at the Forest Fringe,
3.10pm (approx), Wednesday 26 August at the Mock Turtle following a surprise Forest Fringe show.
These shows will be free on entry and you can donate afterwards as you see fit.
We hope to see you there.

P.S. If you came straight to this page from another link you can find info about ‘Funny’ here.
‘Tank Man’ is a short performance piece by Tim Nunn, written during Anthony Gormley’s ‘One and Other’ on the fourth plinth of 
Trafalgar Square. Tim’s blog for ‘One and Other’ describing ‘Tank Man’ is here.
It is a one person show inspired by the real ‘Tank Man’ who stopped the tanks as they attempted to get to Tiananmen Square, Beijing in 1989 to suppress the student demonstrations. It will be performed by Gillian Lees.
‘Tank Man’ will be shown for free during Edinburgh Fringe ‘09 alongside ‘Funny (don’t make me laugh)’. Times and dates for ‘Tank Man’ have not yet been set but if you email us (info@reelingwrithing.com) we will let you know the schedule as soon as we have it. Or you can revisit www.reelingwrithing.com (not necessarily this page).
This is the very first ‘Stage Presence’ exhibition, initiated by Cate Inglis, East Renfrewshire Council’s Cultural Coordinator. It was conceived as a visual arts programme that would bring together 200 pupils from 6 different schools in a collaborative project with 3 arts professionals; milliner & costume designer Sally-Ann Proven, painter & scenic artist, Audrey McMillan and me, Katherine Morley, theatre director & sound designer from Reeling & Writhing
The classes have explored the following works from Scottish writers;
Pirates of the Deep Green Sea, by Eric Linklater
Pure Dead Magic by Debi Gliori and
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by R.L. Stevenson
After exploring the characters, locations and dialogue, pupils have fully designed and created their own visual and audio interpretation of each book. The three sound files on this blog are the work of St. Cadoc’s P6, St. John’s P5 and St. Thomas’ P5/6 classes.
The ‘Stage Presence’ project was designed to allow pupils and schools to work together to explore Theatre Design through aspects of Sound, Set and Costume. Working alongside the creative team, so many incredible young people have learnt new practical artistic skills and gained a new appreciation of the thought, work and communication within the context of arts and literature.
The resulting, superb work from all 6 schools is currently touring as a public exhibition, launching at Eastwood Park Gallery space on Wednesday 28th May 2008. Do email me if you’d like more information.
It’s been so much fun! Have a listen…
(Do turn your volume up to full. The work is beautifully subtle and should be played through fabulous speakers when possible!)
