"Positive action means that the actor/character focuses on the success of the enterprise rather than allowing the fear of failure to enter the mind or consciousness – every character plays to win at every moment....

The inclination of creativity – both on stage and in life – is to celebrate and to praise life and existence.....

With positive action, the characters hang on not only to the hope but also to the belief that they will get what they want. When they fail to achieve their goals, the effect will be psychologically and emotionally devastating; when they achieve their goals, the effect will be miraculous, exhilarating, and transporting."

The reality of Forest Fringe and many other artist-led initiatives such as Stoke Newington International Airport is that they rely on varying levels of self-exploitation to survive as they patch together what little funding they can and operate largely on reciprocity, generosity and by creating communities. As regular readers know, I don’t think artists should starve in garrets. But these projects defiantly see themselves as creative opportunities rather than businesses, with an-anything-is-possible attitude that I find cheering. Small can be beautiful.
