With the season of Festivals drawing to an end, it has been a busy summer for naturespacecreative having successfully delivered core events including : Polish Arts Festival 2011, End of Term 2011, Armed Forces Day Southend 2011 and Southend Air Festival 2011, of which Joanna has had key roles.
A particular favourite was producing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for Metal Culture as part of their Literary Festival - Shorelines, Joanna worked alongside Jude Kelly OBE (Artistic Director Southbank Centre) and Lemn Sissay as well as members of Bellowhead, the Pulse Choir and 15 local school children to create the first performance of the piece outside of the Southbank Centre who originally commissioned the piece. Technical wizardry was mastered by Glyn Morgan and Ben of Maple Sound, Andy Barak-Smith (lighting) of Its All done with Mirrors and Sean Groth (Visuals) to create a memorable and beautiful recreation of the original piece.
As the nights start drawing in the naturespacecreative team are working on the next 12 months schedules and starting to design the new caminoproject.org website that will be hosted and managed by naturespacecreative in response to the phenomenal success of Camino in June 2011. More details of how to get involved will follow shortly.
Camino will be shown alongside an intimate new piece of work to mark the launch of caminoproject.org with cofounder Alan Hockett in late November. People of camino, get ready you are about to go on a journey. More details to follow.

What a busy month, Camino as has been suggested on the facebook site has started its own journey and has taken on a new life. The film of the piece has been edited and Alan Hockett and Joanna Hartle are busy trying to get it out there for people to see as well as launch caminoproject.org which will see camino taken across the world to be recreated in different locations and different settings through different personal responses, created not only by the artists but through open invitation to all to respond to the piece within a set of given paramenters.
More details will follow as it happens. If you have pictures send them over though we would love to see them. Camino remained on Leigh beach for about 2 weeks afer its creation. Amazing, and extraordinary.
Sad news this month, the Infamous Nige Emery, a dear friend and colleague of Joannas in her touring days passed away after a short battle with cancer. His warrior and rock n roll attitude, large heart , friendship and execeptional proffesionalism will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Safe travels on your journey Nige.

So, A quick thank you to all that particpated in the Camino last weekend. We have now indoctrinated the first 44 people of the Camino into the tribe, your help, guidance and all round good vibes helped make the piece inspiring, emotive, thought provoking and everything in the middle. Camino will be back, Alan Hockett and I are about to create the accompany short film that accomapnies the other ingredients of the piece. Photos will follow, thank you to all who have contributed.
It looks like naturespacecreative may have a new home over the next few months, we are moving to the riverside to have some fun and get some inspiration. It will require some renovation but its very excited and we can be in nature to empower about it.
