Wrong season for it now, of course -- but I'd like to do something with the Stations of the Cross.
I'm not sure whether I'd like to present one finished performance per day as I am with the Twelve Days project, or whether I'd like to follow a more traditional structure, taking a few minutes for each station, but following one with the other quite quickly as part of one "event". If I do that, do I want to present the parts separately, or just as one integrated work?
How do I want to handle the visual side of things?
Do I want to ask some like-minded artist to participate? I don't have the money to commission works, and I want to release my work under CC BY-SA as always, which some artists will balk at.
The Stations we have at St Andrew's are, artistically, nothing special; I believe they're also still in copyright. So just taking my own photographs of those won't be terribly helpful. In any case I'm no photographer.
In my head, everything is illuminated ikons or stained glass windows. These are the visual formats that bring Scripture alive for me; everything else takes more work. I'm not sure there are enough legally available stained glass images with the right material for Stations.
Also -- how many Stations? 12? 14? Scriptural or Medieval? I suppose a fairly arbitrary starting point would be to go and check at St Andrew's and use the ones we have there, even if I use different images.
