Time is greater than it was, because now we have more of it. Time to plan, time to sit, time to read, time to meditate, time to notice, and time to do. Tomorrow I will start the garage clean out or the painting of the kitchen etc. But of course, tomorrow never comes, because we laze about doing nothing, thinking it can be done tomorrow!
On 16 March 2020, one week before official government guidance, and just as Covid 19 was turning into a global epidemic, the Performance Ensemble went into lockdown. Our weekly company workshops came to an abrupt halt, and we disappeared behind our individual front doors. The easy ways of communicating, face to face, were no more. But we still needed to connect. Nine of the company started to keep diaries of their experiences, as a way of overcoming the isolation. Here they are: 31 days of lockdown, recorded during the months of March and April, beginning on 16 March and ending on 1 May, just as restrictions started to be eased. Edited by Barney Bardsley
