Grayson Perry: The Ten Days of Alan

I recently had the privilege of organising and producing a pilgrimage style performance for Grayson Perry around France, Antwerp and Germany. Grayson loves his motorbikes, just like he loves his dresses, and he designed this rather incredible beast, The AM 1,  which doubles up as a sort of Popemobile for Grayson’s benign dictator teddybear, His Royal Highness Alan Measles. Over ten days we visited sites of great cultural significance for Grayson and his work, from the Nurburgring to Mad King Ludwig’s Neuschwanstein Castle, made famous by Disney in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We were accompanied by a BBC film crew and a collection of Grayson's friends and even Alan Yentobb popped by for roast Pork and Beer. Neil Crombie's Imagine will be broadcast on the 3rd November 2011, more information on that here. You can also read Alan’s experience on the blog I set up for Grayson.
