And Tigers Mingle 9

We're racing towards the end now and it feels a bit scary. We have our structure and we have our material - now it's just being able to do it. And if we can do it, hope that it speaks to an audience in a way that makes sense to them.

In such a short process, two weeks from start to finish, you really have to trust to instinct. Everything is based around working on immediate responses and hoping those responses will resonate with your audience.

However, there are several key things working in your favour, which will help support you. The first and most obvious, is the location. It's been the inspiration for the work and if you were performing in a theatre, it's highly unlikely you'd ever have such a magnificent set. If your responses have been true, then the audience should see the logic of what you've created in relation to the surroundings.

Secondly, you have the artists. Richard and Sonia are both excellent - they are warm and charismatic performers - and in the intimate locations in the house, their relationship with the audience is enhanced - it doesn't distance them like a theatre might.

Thirdly we have the excitement of combining the art forms, the spoken word with the kathak - and both of them interacting with the house. It is new and unique - audiences don't know what to expect and therefore it should feel new and different.

But we still need to get it right...
