Drom. Looking for somewhere to stay - Stratford. With Damian Le Bas from simon games on Vimeo. We are in week two of Drom and we have been travelling the streets of London, with our caravan, looking for safe places to pull in for the night. One afternoon we went east with Damian, assistant director of the play and an English Gypsy, to explore the area around the Olympic site in Stratford. Gyspy communities were moved off sites in this area to make way for the development and this contentious episdoe is the background to the play Shraddha currently running at the Soho Theatre. We tried to find a place to pull in with a backdrop of the Olympic development where we could interview Damian. As you can see from the video clip, it is virtually impossible to find such a place, certainly when you are towing a caravan. In the end we made do with an interview in the car as we travelled, ending up on Hackney Marshes, some way from the Olympic Site. Thanks to Geoffery Taylor for shooting this video. Â |
