Cycling as poetry. I’m on to something, I know it…

I made this video 2 years ago just after Team Sky cycled its first ever race in Adelaide. I’m a big cycling fan (on and off the bike) and Team Sky did brilliantly their first time out, winning the Down Under Classic on the first day of the Tour. This is a little tribute to them! It’s one of the first videos I ever made and though it’s rough and messy I still like it.

This is an ancient Hopi prophesy story which resonates with what is happening in the world today and teaches us to have faith in the goodness and wisdom of the Universe.

The video was inspired by a fascinating book, Earth Mother, Our Womb of Life, free to download here.

My husband’s birthday inspired me to dig up our wedding poem and turn it into a short video. The words ring truer everyday.

This is a story about Evolution. A different story – which explains Evolution as a process of development, a system like other systems found in Nature – not a cosmic freak accident. Is it possible?

The video is a story of desperation. Desperate to be heard, she makes herself incoherent. Years ago I read a story by Ursula K Leguin, a fantasy writer. Three men are rowing across a large lake. The water becomes turbulent and the boat is sure to sink. In a fit of desperation and madness, one man stands up and cries out “We’re all going to drown!” then jumps overboard. Only he drowns; the remaining men row safely to shore. Sometimes our fear drives us to our horror.

I did this as an entry into the Cannes Film Fest in 2011. I thought the unusual story and filming style would get me short listed. It didn’t.

Stand up poet Elvis Mcgonagall, funny, topical and brilliant, headlined Oxford’s Hammer & Tongue Poetry Slam in March 2010.

Here are some highlights from the show.
