“That is finished now. It was a pleasure.” Thank you all for the support towards Nothing’s Happening: A BMC Project, both in & outside of the states! We just finished our last performance & are so grateful for the opportunity of performing at The Fringe! #nothingbmcp #unca

•Nothing’s Happening: A BMC (Final) Project• Our final performance is this afternoon at 5:15 in the Greenside Jade Studio on Royal Terrace! If you want to see a show about exploring the methods of art making through past & present art students eyes, come on out! #nothingbmcp

•Edinburgh: The Experience• Today was a full day of sightseeing & free time before we have our first show tomorrow! UNCA students went to see the Kelpies, Loch Lamond, & Sterling Castle & tomorrow we will be bringing Black Mountain College to The Fringe! #nothingbmcp #fringe

•Hello Edinburgh• Well folks, we made it! Today we had our tech rehearsal for the show & got all our ducks in a row for our first performance on Saturday! However, in our spare time we are trying to hit all the spots & get our Fringe experience in! #nothingbmcp #unca #fringe

@LeightonTJ82 @edfringe Nothing’s Happening: A Black Mountain College Project is going to be at the Greenside Jade Studio! It is a devised piece about and inspired by Black Mountain College, John Cage, and the love of art making! We have music, movement, and even a violinist :) Hope to see you there!

Any @edfringe recommendations? #edfringe2019 #EdFringe19 #edfringe #Edinburgh #fringe

•Boot Camp: Day 3• Yesterday was our last day of boot camp and now we are on our way to ham it up across the big pond! Stay tuned for travel updates and our time at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival! #nothingbmc #fringe #theater #unca #bmc #travel #goobers

•Boot Camp: Day 2• Here’s a sneak peek into what we’ve been up to & what is in store for the Fringe. “It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.” and there’s no where we’d rather be than the Fringe! #nothingbmc #unca #theater #fringe #johncage #BMC

•Boot Camp: Day 1• After months of being dark, we are officially back at Black Mountain College! We are revisiting the script & refining our love letter to art making while simultaneously learning about The Fringe & what we need to be prepared for! #nothingbmc #fringefest #unca

• BMC Alumni Feature • Anni Albers • “Being creative is perhaps not so much the desire to do something but the listening to that which wants to be done.” In our experience, there is always something to listen too--we just have to decide what to do with it! #nothingbmcp #bmc

• Fringe Festival Feature • The founding principle at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is to be an open access festival that accommodates anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them. #nothingbmcp #theater #performingarts #fringefestival #unca

• Tips and Tricks• For many of us apart of Nothing’s Happening: A BMC Project, this will be our first time out of the states. Any tips or tricks from travellers or natives from the U.K. for going out of the country? #nothingbmcp #fringefestival #tipsandtricks #unca #theater

•Blog Posts• As we get closer to performing “Nothing’s Happening: A BMC Project” again, check out our blogs documenting the process of creating the piece to get back into the BMC & devised theater spirit at nothingshappening.wp.unca.edu #nothingbmcp #unca #theater #fringefestival

• Fringe Festival Feature • The Fringe story dates back to 1947, when eight theatre groups turned up uninvited to perform at the Edinburgh International Festival, performing on the 'fringe' of the original festival! #nothingbmcp #fringefestival #theater #performingarts

•Special Student Feature• Grace Siplon, Casey Clennon, Caroline Kelly, Connor Harmsworth, Michelle Troszak, & Morgan Fuller are our graduated performers from UNC Asheville! Come out to see them 1 last time in affiliation with UNCA at The Fringe! #nothingbmcp #unca #graduation

•What now?• With only 10 days until we fly to Edinburgh, we are getting back into the show & preparing to bring Nothing’s Happening: A Black Mountain Project all the way across the pond & to bring a bit of WNC to the U.K.! #nothingbmcp #theater #unca #fringefestival

• Process • Strike • “At any instant, one may leave it, and whenever one wishes, one may return to it.” We’ve left the world of “Nothing’s Happening”, but no worries--we’ll officially return to it in August, if not sooner through our social media! #nothingbmcp #theater #unca

• Process • Closing Night • Wow! We’ve had a whirlwind of a weeked & it almost doesn’t feel real. Today is the last day you can come out & see “Nothing’s Happening" so if you haven’t had a chance to do so yet, make sure you see what’s happening! #nothingbmcp #theater #unca
