We’ve been commissioned by Museum of London Docklands to create an audio piece for their new ‘Many East Ends’ gallery. We’re looking at the people and issues around West India Dock Road – Poplar, Isle of Dogs, Docklands is jam packed with history and present day intrigue….if you have a similar regeneration fetish then get yourself down here quick.
We’re working with Poplar Harca residents to inspire the conversations and Creative Writes to shape them lovingly.

And only a fiver right here: http://mementolimehouse.eventbrite.co.uk/
The Memento side of the night on Sat 8th Dec is limited capacity so get in early. The building doen’t ordinarily open to the public, not sure when you’ll get the chance again to give it a go.
Now that all the tests are out of the way, this week we are recording the final audio with our fine actors. Very good.
01/11/12 – Getting ready
Put it in your diaries now, Saturday 8th December, its shaping up to be a brilliant evening! The script is being refined, the voice over actors are being cast and we’re very excited to tell you that we will soon be realising our teaser trailer! We got our first order of technical equipment and props through today and we will soon have a beautiful new flyer to show you. There was also a very lovely mention of us from Creative Writes this week – exciting stuff!
25/10/12 – 1880′s here we come
First draft of the script is printed, the coloured pen is out as we start to re-work it – it’s been great working with Creative Writes to explore the building and we’ve even caught ourselves wondering, “what would a building sound like if it had a voice?” Writing on the set of an opera is inspiring to say the least. We made it down to the Town Hall on the final night of Finding Butterfly - incredible to see it come alive with music – mind-blowing acoustics. And an intriguing set….we’re also planning our own event there on Sat 8th Dec – save the date.
18/10/12 – Memento – The Blueprints
We have been very busy bees this week, searching through the London Metropolitan Archives, finding lots of brilliant new images for the beautiful Limehouse Town Hall and preparing for our new Memento flyers, out soon! We’ve also got a team date to the Opera coming up to go see the stunning Finding Butterfly performed in our very own Limehouse Town Hall. Will be lovely to see the space come alive and hopefully will come back with some cracking photos of the evening – watch this space!
18/09/12 – Memento – Limehouse Town Hall
The second in the series of our Memento audio walks. We’re keeping it east side again in the hautingly beautiful and very much alive, Limehouse Town Hall. We’re working with the Trust there to create something based usable for the future and different types of groups. 1880′s here we come.
For a different kind of audio walk altogether and only around the corner to Limehouse, Precast makes for a memorable afternoon and only on for a few more Saturdays and Sundays.

29/03/12 – It’s all about silent movies right now……..
After his successful sell-out shows at the Brighton Fringe in 2010 and 2011, David Watts is back in Brighton this May with his show The Silent Movie Experience. ScreenDeep have particular interest in this show and the birth of the moving image. Research for a new production is brewing…..
Check out dates and ticket info for The Silent Movie Experience here: http://www.silentmovieexperience.co.uk
08/02/12 Films @Tranmediale
Transmediale’s 2012 festival theme was ‘Incompatibility’ – glitches, things not matching up, the desire that we expect to. Transmediale started life as the experimental video faction of the Berlinale 25 years ago. Not surprising then that this festival had a wide and rich film programme. Older documentaries about hacking and it’s cash only at defcon. Oh so want to see Anonymous doc that will premiere at this year’s SXSW.
More about two other films that struck a chord and some more we discovered when over there.
26/01/12 – Country retreat, music, Jonathan Krisp and daffodils
An exciting musical collaboration has recently begun in the ScreenDeep camp between Joanna Shaw and the mega talented Jonathan Krisp. So the ScreenDeep lady has retreated from Hackney and decided to return to the heart of The Cotswolds, in Gloucestershire, to marvel at the beautiful countryside and get cracking with some writing. Moving back into one’s childhood bedroom room after nearly 10 years has actually been profoundly moving and lovely, I’ve been able to remember exactly who I am, what I’ve always loved musically and remember the same girl who is still full of the same dreams and desires. And to top it all off there are daffodils everywhere, ScreenDeep’s favourite flower, bless those little trumpets!
Check out Jonathan Krisp’s wonderful music here:

20/12/11 Don’t be shy
We’ve gone behind the scenes and been lending a voluntary hand to the team at You me Bum Bum Train – another incredible production, everytime a unique roller coaster. Being able to see the audiences reaction so close up is an incredible feeling. And so is the re-calibration the short experience has given us – to basically just do it. don’t be shy, don’t think it’s not possible, ask everyone to help, people will, they are good. It’s all hard work but nothing is better than creating something you know that people will never forget.

20/11/11 Sites in Brazil
This visit to Brazil felt less about beaches and ice cream and more about cities and buildings. Sao Paulo is Gotham City, possibly. The reality of those buildings – seeing them, seeing out from them, going up the lifts in them – is powerful even if you firmly believe architecture doesn’t awaken your internal butterflies. A biggie was finally understanding what a ‘condominium’ actually is, in this world of conservative concierges.
And world of Love Motels too.
These have existed always and sleeze associated so readily but for the price of a London B&B, you can stay for 12 hours in a beautiful apartment in Brazil’s capital. Yes, there is pole in the room and various contraptions and billable erotic products but there is also a hot tub, a steam room, a roof that opens to the sky, room service and a taxi that collects you. Smart and civilised.
Inspiration for our next site-specific production.

29/06/11 Digital gets hands on
What a relief. We get to see digital and more known methods of artwork come together, increasingly. No longer do want a divided stance on tech Vs non-tech. Paintbrushes and computer pens can be interchangeable:
And this sound installation using mapping is just too beautiful. Festival of the moment, Alpha-ville Festival – is leading on this post-digital revolution – running in London 22-25 Sep, 2011.

29/04/11 Farms that go up
By the year 2030, most of the earth’s population will be living in cities. We will need 50% more food, water and energy to support the ever increasing population. Sound’s pretty scary stuff, doesn’t it?
Dr. Dickson Despommier, Ecologist and Environmental Health Scientist, has come up with a solution: Vertical Farming!
Dr Despommier’s farms will cultivate plant and animal life within skyscrapers. Using advanced greenhouse technology such as hydroponics and aeroponics, these Skyscrapers could theoretically produce fish, poultry, fruit and vegetables!

14/04/11 Pregnant Clouds
Cloud seeding is a hot topic and one of the many areas we’ve been researching for our next production – BUNKER PLC. Shooting rockets of silver iodine into pregnant clouds can make rain or shift them to one side to create sunny days. Weather modification is happening we tell you. Come to our sensory installation for a taste.
12/01/11 – Bunker project cranks up a gear!
Screendeep are excited to welcome another fantastic Artist on board for the Bunker project 2011. Violet Bennell will be offering her mysterious and beautiful sculptures to the dark and eerie space of the Bunker.
14/12/10 – Memento: Tracing History through Sound and Film
Memento at Trinity Buoy Wharf this weekend was a big thumbs up. People came, people saw (though it was spookily dark) and some people drank brandy and found torches. Everyone drank cognac though – thanks for sponsoring us Courvoisier! The Future Bank Fund helped us to run a very valuable test experience for our audience.
So we’ve hit the next stage of development for this interactive audio walk – where a new place and space is discovered, a way to connect the past and the present and a sensory way to engage with history.
Check out more of the pictures here: Screen Deep Flickr
Big thanks to CVTF500 for our wonderful miniatures which were commented on and loved and the support from Future Bank overall: CVTF500
22/11/10 – Memento at Trinity Buoy Wharf
A memento is a keepsake or souvenir of remembrance. We’d like togive you something to remember one Saturday in December.
We’re inviting you for a brief adventure at Trinity Buoy Wharf in deepest, darkest Docklands. We’ll take you there by boat and then, through headphones, you’ll be guided on an unusual journey around this most mysterious place.
The whole experience is free and will last about an hour and a half from start to finish. It will run for one night only – Saturday 11 December – but there are slots at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.
We hope you’ll come and share your thoughts with us over a warming drink afterwards, so we can make the adventure bigger and better.
If you’re intrigued and prepared to wrap up warm, reply to hello@screendeep.co.uk by Friday 26 November with your preferred time slot and we’ll let you know more. North Greenwich is your starting point…
Love & woolly scarves,
The Memento Team
Are our lovely supporters. Thanks!
14/10/10 – Bunker Recce
It was all hearts a racing as the Screen Deep Team headed down low into the depths of the venue for the next production. Notes were taken on flooding possibilities (likely), stalictites removal (unlikely) and fear factor (high).
15/09/10 – Archives Central
Eyes went very cross-eyed after much perusing of Hackney Archives today. Press cuttings talking about air raid shelters at Clapton Common, amazingly bound business directories with really fragile pages and MAPS. Oh yeah, maps from 1846. This can mean only one thing – ScreenDeep Ladies are in research mode for new project…
