I booked Rod the Harper to play music as people arrived; Ruski ace photographer to be paparazzi for the evening; Dicee to DJ. We were in Fusion in the Forum which is my favourite place in the world for premieres - I love seeing kids lounging on the beanbags watching themselves on the big screen.<br />

I had a sweet time making a little promotional movie for Anam Cora and their "music for the soul". At times meditative, at times enlivening,
at times juicy, their singing includes natural harmonies that arise
from deep listening.

We had a great launch of the Great Yarmouth BLAH LGBT Youth Group last week at the local library. Loads of local organisations and young people came down to say hi. Sadly my stint as BLAH Development Worker is just about to finish. I've had a wonderful time developing the group in North Norfolk and doing all the LGBT awareness-training in schools and youth groups. I'm really proud that in my year with the Norfolk LGBT Project we've set up two new Youth Groups and spoken to over 3,000 schoolchildren! I finish on 31st March. Can't wait to see them all again at Norwich Pride on 25th July.</div>

Ellie lives in her own place and she invited her pals over for home-made lasagne. I've known these young women since they were children so it was delightful to see them as adults having a lovely time together. I was very pleased they agreed to don their Action Ts to pose with me for this photo.<br />

I am representing the Norfolk LGBT Project on the Getting On In Norwich Steering Group, a partnership of loads of organisations who are preparing for a Big Lottery Project to tackle social isolation amongst older people. We're using an ABCD asset mapping approach. ABCD = Asset Based Community Development. It's a grassroots system of working with local people to map their communities and the things that keep them well and keep them connected. I made a little movie of the first workshop in Bowthorpe.

launched at Sheringham High School with Year 8 pupils as part of Hate
Crime Awareness Week. The pack includes stories from young, local LGBT
people who
have experienced bullying (taken from a brilliant booklet that the Norwich BLAH Youth Group created a couple of years ago) and activities to make young people think
about how they could support friends being bullied. It also offers ideas
for how to challenge the use of the word ‘gay’ as an insult. The lessons went down well with pupils and comments on
the feedback forms included, 'perfect', ‘it’s brilliant, keep it as it
is’, 'there is nothing to make it better.' There were several calls for 'more sweets' so I'll bear that in mind!!<br />

It showcased all the different ways Norfolk schools are tackling homophobic and transphobic bullying in the classroom and the playground. I made a 15 minute film featuring eight different schools. The exhibition was opened by two of my heros - Rita Adair, Senior Educational Psychologist at Norfolk County Council who has done so much to tackle bullying in Norfolk schools; and Elly Barnes, a pioneer who runs training courses all over the country to make schools more LGBT-friendly. Hundreds of people visited the exhibition including lots of the kids in the film. We had some brilliant feedback.<br />

For the next year I will be working 10 hours a week as the North Norfolk BLAH LGBT Youth Development Worker. The job involves setting up a Youth Group for young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and those questioning their sexuality and gender identity; as well as running LGBT awareness raising sessions in schools and youth groups. Here's a pic of a flag a child made at Angel Rd Junior school. We did a lesson based on the rainbow flag and I asked them all to make flags that represented who they are.<br />

It's all about being a MOJO - a mobile journalist - with an iPhone. Loads of great tips and tricks. I love making films on my iPhone. It feels a bit of a cheat turning up to film with an iPhone or flip camera and yet it allows me to get some really natural responses from people.<br />

Ferguson who was full of ideas for how we can turn OUT140 into a play.
Dugald is a British / New Zealand artist based in the UK working on
solo, collaborative and commissioned pieces in the visual arts and
performance. He is co-founder of the Immersive Theatre Company Living
Structures and Artists Collective The Norwich Dandies. Here’s what Dugald
says about OUT140:<br />
<br />
“I am wildly excited about ‘OUT140: THE PLAY’, taking
these honest, moving, hilarious, delectable coming out tweets and
turning them in to a feast of performance. The little anecdotes are so
universal and versatile in their wide appeal and human interest, easily
adaptable into a wide array of performance, music, puppetry, live art,
circus, installation acts which will be a totally awesome Cabaret of
Coming Out! Above all the constantly growing nature of the OUT140
project with Shelly Telly – the insatiable collector of tweeted tales –
means this play / event / happening can expand, evolve and respond to
the ever changing landscape of LGBT human rights.”<br />

Now it's a pretty easy job because we have a wonderful <a href="http://www.ndttl.co.uk/" target="_blank">website </a>created by a lovely, talented guy with huge technical knowledge called<a href="http://www.slaassociates.net/" target="_blank"> Steve Annison</a>. Steve's created a site where Divisional Secretaries can upload scores and reports and give their views on the week's results. They also copy them to me and I edit a summary. Wendy Durrant, my predecessor did a brilliant job for several years and the only way I could see to make any improvement was to make things a bit more visual, so I was DELIGHTED to see nearly a whole page in tonight's Evening News and the EDP with a huge photo I took on my iPhone of Thomas Connelly, one of the rising stars of Taverham E - who sadly beat us 10-0! I am now scouring the internet for ideas for poses that I can make players strike for pics. There are over 60 teams in the league and well over 200 players so I've got plenty of people to perfect my sports photography on!<br />

The borough council and the local LGBT network <a href="http://www.fannorthants.com/about-us" target="_blank">FAN</a> worked together to put on an event to celebrate National Coming Out Day and they booked me and OUT140 to be part of it.

I went on an amazing poetry masterclass with Jean "Binta"
Breeze today. It was organised by the <a href="http://www.writerscentrenorwich.org.uk/apoetmustseducetheairliveliteraturewithjeanbintabreeze.aspx" target="_blank">Writers' Centre Norwich</a>. I loved her vocal
warm ups - how she got us to play with phonetic letters to see where
they formed on our tongues, our lips, our teeth, our throats. I loved
the way she talked about the power of silence - how the audience hush
before a poet speaks is beautiful and the poet must ‘seduce the air’(thanks Laura for recording this so perfectly in your blog). I
asked her if she chose poems in advance when she's doing a performance
and she said no, she has her book and she responds to the audience and
the atmosphere, almost like a DJ. I thought there was something very
person-centred about this. It wasn't a case of "listen to me, I'm the
great poet", rather she listens to the audience to see what they need. It was such a privilege to spend the afternoon with her - an unforgettable experience.<br />

I did the introduction course over the summer and really enjoyed it. What's counselling got to do with filmmaking? Well there's a lot of listening when it comes to drawing out people's stories and I need to build trust so that people have the confidence to open up. The best films are the ones that enable the viewer to empathise with the people in them - these are the ones that are going to change hearts and minds. I was excited to discover that there are films on YouTube of Carl Rogers explaining his theories about person-centred counselling. Here he is talking about the core condition of empathy:<br />

I'm going to be running a workshop about OUT140 at <a href="http://booqfest.webs.com/" target="_blank">booQfest</a>, Northampton's festival with a literary bent, next week so I've been gathering up some of the 12 second films people made when we first launched OUT140 as a multimedia show on the Fusion screen in the Forum in January 2010. At the time, there was a website called 12seconds.tv which suggested that a movie equivalent of a tweet would last 12 seconds. The website no longer exists but I still love the idea of micro-movie-making and will show some of the films next week. Here is a selection.</div>
