Ships Log

Lone Twin create their very own ship's log - an evocation of the journey's sea-soaked activities, as part of navigate festival. The newly commissioned performance will attempt a navigation of that voyage, negotiating the certain and the uncertain, the romantic and the real, the Gull and the Albatross. Life on board ships has long been the stuff of myth and legend. Here Lone Twin pull anchor in search of wild seas, Moby Dicks, ocean depths, cocktail hours and Ellen MacArthurs.

"What made my father's log so special was not the recorded wind speed of the day, or the course setting and point destination, but rather his comments on the characters and relatives that used to join him for a ride, the frustrations he had getting his wife and three children ready and organised for a day trip, his dreams and plans for his boat, and his humorous descriptions of cocktail hour." – John Kokulis, Ships Log
