So a friend approached me with this email a couple of weeks ago;
"Going to have a few things going on the evening of Thursday 18th May 2017 at Manchester Craft and Design Centre in the Northern Quarter. As I've mentioned it'll be inspired by/themed around the work of Alan Menken so anything from the following:
Little Shop of Horrors
The Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
Pocahontas
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Hercules
Home on the Range
Enchanted
Tangled
Mirror Mirror
Newsies
Sausage Party
I'm looking to have some things to display so whether this is a piece of art created for the event, a painting, an illustration, a poem, a costume, a film inspired by, some songs inspired by, straight up covers of songs from the films, reenactments, whatever!
Things will be displayed in and around the craft centre, we'll have performances on the stage area and screenings in the cinema room. So please get back to me ASAP with your idea.
Will need pieces to be complete by w/c 15th May so I can collect things and get them ready to exhibit."
At first I was a little hesitate to take this comission and I worred it would clashed with my MA studies but then I just thought intertwine them!
I think I am going to choose Hercules, I think out of all of them, that's the only one I actually like the background story. I've wanted to look more into Greek mythology and because I know the bare minimal I had to research this on a 'Ancient Greek for Kids' which helped alot.
As I've only got 10 days, I've just got to crack on.
