Hi everyone – well the tour has started with a bang! We began with a screening of the 7-minute version in Middlesbrough on the BBC Big Screen on 29th Jan. It was FREEZING! But thanks so much to the Wellington St gang who came out in force to perform some numbers for the premiere. The piece is going to be on all the BBC Big Screens round the country – there are 17 of them in various towns and cities and you can see the full list here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bigscreens/
Then last week from 12-14 Feb we had the first leg of the installation tour at the Light Night Festival in Notts. Huge thanks to the Notts group for coming out to take part in the discussion we organised (particularly for your speech Kevin). Then the installation was run for 3 days and a few hundred people came. It looks so awesome when it is playing in a dark room – in this case a church. Amazing. I’ll load some photos onto this site
I’m so proud of what we have achieved and what the Streetwise performers have produced. It is fantastic and so are you!
Next date in the diary is a screening at Tyneside Cinema on 7th March. More info to follow!

This is amazing ! Do you know when and where you will be in New York ? I would love to fly there to see “My Secret Heart”.
Just visited in Yokohama/Japan.
What a fabulous installation! It’s awesome. I loved it.
We’d love to bring My Secret Heart to New York but we’re still working on finding a venue!
Glad you liked the installation in Yokohama Aiko – it was tremendous to come to work in Japan particularly working with homeless people in Kamagasaki and Kotobuki with the help of the British Council
