Summary of discussion, conclusions and/or recommendations:

• Finding crossovers from TV, theatre – what are the limitations?
• The use of architecture work.
• An urban construction site was artificially created.
• People popping up in public spaces.
• Happenings on tubes, in libraries.
• Using masks.
• Looking for gallery spaces that would allow experimentation.
• One woman spoke of script editing and coming to this group not knowing how she would develop her own ideas.       Here was an opportunity to dream.
• We spoke of outsider art. John Cage.
