[helen varley jamieson]

We're now two-thirds of the way through the 11:11:11 UpStage Festival 
and all is going well! Once again the the work is diverse, exciting and 
inspiring - created by innovative artists from a variety of disciplines 
and of all ages; and the audience response is enthusiastic.

The third and final block of performances begins very soon, at 7pm 
European time, which is 7am on Saturday in New Zealand. The schedule of 
performances, on the front page of the UpStage web site 
<http://upstage.org.nz/blog/>, includes time converter links so that you 
can find your local time.

The performances in the final block are:

  * /Edward King <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#ek>/: Times
    Square on Christmas Eve. Did Edward King kill someone? Was the man

  * /Flat Earth <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#fe>/: a poetic
    journey on the source of ideas, and how we build ideas from images
    that come in our mind; playing with perception, the focus, the
    distraction of it, time, size and distance, the imagination, and the
    memory of things and scenes. By Petyr Veenstra and Floris Sirag (the
    Netherlands).
  * /String Games <http://upstage.org.nz/blog/?page_id=2652#wake>/:
