As another week fades away quickly things are becoming increasingly clear for How It Ended Productions.
We are now a month away from the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe brochure being released and tickets going on sale - we can't wait to check out all the other shows - it's certain to be another exceptional year for theatre and we going to ensure that we're at the centre of the hub.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This week has seen some very exciting creative developments. Inspired by our event on Saturday and checking out some brilliant productions in London we took the opportunity to work through script augmentation, set and visual ideas, as well as our aspirations for W A T E R P R O O F and the company for the year ahead.
Teresa and Eva met to discuss the show in depth and with the benefit of hindsight we were able to scrutinise what really works, what lines don't quite fit right and some brutal cuts for the 60 minute time restrictions on the Fringe. It has seen some characters emerge larger and brighter, whilst others disappear into the shadows so to tighten and focus the piece.
After much debating, role playing and list making Teresa locked herself away in her attic room (soon she'll be able to be the office instead) and wrote. We are in a great position to make
W A T E R P R O O F the best show we can and we are not going to stop until we believe we've got there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
'But I Made You a Mixed Tape' was a pleasure and after a great response How It Ended Productions are now looking to make this a regularly produced event. A platform for emerging writers, performers and musicians. More information for plans next month will be on our blog soon so keep a look out.
If you couldn't make it, or if you want to have another peak into our world here are a few snaps and a glimpse into some of the great talent across the board.

Another talent who joined us on Saturday was Sean Mahoney whose powerful piece of poetry can be seen in this note.

In other news Teresa is busy writing another new play, Eva is rehearsing for a production as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival and Madeleine is busy at the Archway teching another house production.
What's the saying? No rest for the...
Hope you've enjoyed having a read, thank you.
Have a lovely weekend!
Lots of love,

We're also excited to announce that we will be working with Mobius PR to promote the show this summer. We're chuffed because Mobius have worked with some great companies over the past few years such as Gecko, Analogue and Hoipolloi. 
Last night saw the premier of our first spoken word event BUT I MADE YOU A MIXED TAPE - a spoken word event about songs. Each piece performed was inspired by a particular song and as you can see from the night's playlist - it was jam packed with talent. We were lucky to have members of Camden Roundhouse's Rubix Collective: Dean Atta, Paul Cree, Zionite and Sean Mahoney join us. All great spoken word artists and all regularly perform their stuff in London and beyond. Look them up and check them out. They are total wordsmiths. We also had the lovely Jon Barton - a great young writer and recent graduate of the Royal Court Young Writers Programme so he is certainly one to look out for! Grace Saif and Erin Witton provided beautiful music and heartfelt covers. Both of these girls are only teenagers and they have a hell of a lot of talent and soul come to that. How It Ended Productions was also able to showcase its talent with Stephanie Hampton and our very own Eva Sampson performing a selection of Teresa's poems - some of which will be uploaded onto the blog soon so make sure you have a listen and let us know what you think! 
Inside the atmospheric walls of Jacksons Lane, Highgate emerging artists sang/spoke about lost love, good music, bad music, text messages, sex, soundtracks, growing up and more, much more. After such a positive response to the event, we are excited to annouce that BUT I MADE YOU A MIXED TAPE will become a regularly produced event and a key part of our fundraising drive. It's the perfect platform for storytellers who love music and it's about to get bigger and better!
