We have time to reflect, to breath, To figure out what we believe, To contemplate dull routines And vacuous material dreams, To seriously prioritise What’s important in our lives. When confined to private places, We long for those open spaces, The purity of air unsoiled, Rugged landscape yet unspoiled, The glory of an ancient Earth, A sense of belonging and what that’s worth. After lockdown will we return To taking what we have not earned Or will we live sustainable lives In the hope our children will survive, Ditching the economics of greed To justly share just what we need? All exterior shots filmed March 2019. Interior shots filmed during lockdown in April 2020.

On a hill in the distance, stands a lone building, which she discovers is a long abandoned school hall. A little sun penetrates the dirty glass. An upright piano sits in the far corner. She takes off her muddy boots and with confidence in her gait, strides across to the piano and pulls it by one corner. The rusted wheels are jammed and it pivots, creating an arc. A line is carved in layers of compacted dust and the ancient wooden floor splinters with the weight of the instrument. In the centre of the room, hinged on one foot, she extends her leg and rotates swiftly and with graceful power. Her feet trace, etch and carve in circular movements, creating marks in the layers of dirt. Her body contorts. She throws herself in controlled but frenetic choreography. The movements increase in size and vigour as a pattern emerges. Finally she stands back to witness the impression her dance has etched on the floor.

LeithLate is pleased to announce their latest Leith-based initiative: The Mural Project, involving the installation of a new, contemporary mural for Leith! The mural replaces a former mural on the corner of HALMYRE STREET and GORDON STREET (off LEITH WALK) The artists involved in The Mural Project are: Fraser Gray, Skint Richie, Rabiya Choudhry, Martin McGuinness and DUFI, of which the former three are current Leith residents. They are part of the artist's collective Blameless, previously responsible for such large-scale works as Rough Cut Nation at the National Portrait Gallery in 2009 and more recently, Freedom Versions v. 1 at Stirling Old Town Jail in 2012. The Mural Project is being supported by the City of Edinburgh Council, Leith Neighbourhood Partnership, Port of Leith Housing Association and Scotmid.
