You asked for it....
 

Right - the Panopticon is extremely unlikely to happen in Hyndburn, I think we've all established that on many occassion. So can we please, please, please let the matter drop.

Next person to mention it and I start deducting karma!

Re: You asked for it....
 

Gulp :( ya' spelt occasion wrong too ... gulp >> exits stage right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x

Re: You asked for it....
 

I think it will happen.
Isn't that stage left kate. stage right is over there <<<<<<<<<<< if your on the stage.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Nah, Madhatter ya' incorrect, stage right is as the actor sees it looking out from the stage at the audience, so stage right is >>>>>>>>>>>>>> and don't argue, hun,know what I am talking about :D

panopticons
 

Amen to that

Re: You asked for it....
 

So all that fuss for nothing:confused: typical !!:D

Re: You asked for it....
 

turn your monitor round kate, it's facing the wrong way, the audience can't see it.

Re: You asked for it....
 

If enough people want it to happen becuase something that they like is suggested it will happen. All this sounds a big c up to me because the press poked their noses in as usual and hijacked it in the design process. People jumped to conclusions and refused anything, while also refusing to say what is acceptable.
It may be very unlikely in your opinion, but your not 100% are you:D

Re: You asked for it....
 

I think they should have built a Panopticon on top of the Coppice, similar to the original circular prison design.

Hyndburn Borough Council members could have been incarcerated up there.

Instead of elections every four years we could have released them only after good behaviour.:D

Re: You asked for it....
 

very interesting design rindy. The artist should have looked at that.
What do you think to the seating up there ? is it any good ? Im assumin the only seting is the shelter? do you think more is needed.

Re: You asked for it....
 

and I thought the Tory leaflet 'No No No' was telling us the Conservatives will defend us against an alien landing and send out a clear message, go and land somewhere else, you're not wanted in these parts.

Re: You asked for it....
 

It was about telling you what to think and telling you what you can or can't have on YOUR coppice.

Re: You asked for it....
 

For what it's worth I think we missed out on a real opportunity, I can see it now....PB and his buddies manning the laser guided rocket guns from the top of the Coppice saving us all from Aliens landing there. That's a panoptican I'd subscribe to. Gayle, are these guns within Mid Pennines' panopitcan budget?

Re: You asked for it....
 

If you take your monitor as your audience, Katex is right, and I know what I'm talking about too.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Shame your spellings rubbish though:rofl38:

Re: You asked for it....
 

Can I just say that this was not a statement from Mid Pennine Arts, it was a gut feeling based on what has been posted on here.

The situation from Mid Pennine Arts is that we are still exploring possibilities - they could be new site, new design, new artist but at this point we have no idea what they could be. The Hyndburn one is at the back of the queue with 4 being built this year and the end date is looming.

Re: You asked for it....
 

The reason that I posted this thread is because the subject keeps coming up in different contexts and people keep reading different things into anything I say about it. When I say that nothing is happening at the moment, that is what I mean. We are not secretly plotting to launch one on you all at the last minute, we are not looking at pushing for any of the past designs to ever be used, we are not doing any work on a Panopticon for Hyndburn at the moment. It is at the back of the queue and that is where it will stay whilst we are working on the other four. The project funding is due to end in March 07!

Re: You asked for it....
 

I can't, I am the audience. Your on stage your right is that way >>>>>>>> but I'm the other way so right is <<<<<<<<<<<< my left.
Politicians have an audience to, a very large audience. Sometime someone will remind the electorate to watch the the show. If the politicians find this out they tend to put on very good acting, so convincing that the electorate doesn't see the the real politician, but they only see the character being played.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Thats in the past. There is funding there though that could be used for something on the coppice, but it looks like it will be blocked again by the same person before it's even been discussed.

Re: You asked for it....
 

I'm sorry but I really don't want to discuss this any more and I do wish other people would let it lie.

Every time I post something about it I get a phone call from the Lancs Eve Tel. I repeated once again, yesterday, that nothing about the situation in Hyndburn had changed for the last 8 or 9 months but he still wanted to know what was going on and probably didn't believe me when I said "nothing".

All I was doing by posting this thread was to ask people to stop talking about it on a different, slightly related, topic, or any other topic for that matter. It was not because there was anything new to say. We go over the same arguments every time, please, can I ask one more time to leave it alone, there really is nothing more to say and if anything does happen I promise I will let you know.

Everything that I say is being read by the local press, as was proven by the drama festival thing and this latest thread and in my attempts to be as open as possible people are still managing to read things into things I say.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Know this off thread, however, sure Gayle is relieved and can close her subject down here.

It is a theatrical thing Hatter, and you can be forgiven for misundertanding this as many new actors can get a little confused. Technically you are correct, but even though to you stage right is stage left, if you are in the audience .. still has to be referred to as stage right.

Gayle will verify this to.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Yep, Katie's right - stage right to the people on stage is where we're moving to. It's a director's thing so that they can send actors to the right part of the stage. It is confusing but it's nothing to do with how the audience views it just how the actor knows how to move around on the stage.

Re: You asked for it....
 

so im right then, stage right is over there <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< if my stage right was over there >>>>>>>>>>>> it would be your left.

lol if you worked out how we both view this screen you'd realise whats going on lol .

Re: You asked for it....
 

It cant be dropped because that was the propposed panoptican site, and this could be added to and made hyndburns panoptican.
It needs discussing on here within that thread, regardless of whether the panoptican is on hold.
What do the papers want to do this time slag it off before anythings done so that it gets blocked before its started again.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Not answering!!!!

Gayle goes and puts fingers in ears. la la la la la.

Re: You asked for it....
 

Gayle better with ear plugs. :D

Re: You asked for it....
 

Damn! You`ll make a great politicion:D
