Ringplay Documentary

This time I’m talking about Ian Strachan’s documentary, which was presented at the National Art Gallery to a good-sized audience (several of them English 120 students from my class) in bits and pieces, not having been completely finished. I liked what I saw. Nice solid editing, not too many gimmicks, focus on the people not on the cuts, hoorah. The discussion was good, too, sliding at points into questions of race — is ringplay only a black pastime?
All in all a very good evening. Very stimulating. It was great to be in a room full of people interested in the arts, not just people interested in one art.
We have to talk to one another more.
