This blog will document an artistic collaboration between Ben Coode-Adams and Kris Cohen. The final work, to be performed from 28th-30th May at the Banff Centre, will stage simultaneous, real-time re-enactments of three related events: the first ascent of Everest in 1953, the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953, and a commericial climb of Everest in 1996 which ended in disaster.
CONTACT info@bencoodeadams.com Please send us thoughts, photos, questions. Or leave comments using the 'Shout Out' links. We'll post them here or try to use them in the performance.

We're having some trouble with uploading photos to this account, so, for now, you can find photos and posts here, www.camblog.com. From the home page, you'll probably find us under "recently updated". If not, choose "more blogs" under "recently updated", where you'll search for "issomeonecomingtogetme" or look under F-J. If the problem persists into tomorrow, we're going to use this account during the performance. -kris We're trying to convince the Mountain Culture folks here (our hosts) to sleep in the dining hall over one of the nights of our performance, and to bring their tents. It would look perfect if there were 4 or 5 tents, glowing softly, assembled near the South Col. -kris We've started cutting and assembling the model of Westminster Abbey this morning. There was a deer chewing grass just outside the shop. We walked right by like we've seen it a million times. Ho hum, gorgeous mountains all around; ho hum, a lovely deer. Lunch now, then more cutting and screwing. -kris |
