If life is as nice as the initial meeting.

Trying to animate Triangulation book as part of a performance work I am developing. Making the leap from one reader dealing with the book to presentating it as a video sequence. The transitions between the text-images don't work properly on here, and they are as important as the words themselves. They should fade in and then snap to the next image, so there is a moment when both are seen and then suddenly change. I am wondering how to deal with this.

The act of reading draws you through the book.

Cards

In this collection, two characters name Mickey and Chacha, are in one of the twelve cards. You could take any card to connect with another one, and it does not matter which order you arrange. Even you could create your own new skyline of London.

Portrait cards.

Plane, space, line (postponed arrivals). I have been trying to stop vapour trails using spot stickers. The pictures have been taken inside looking out with spots stuck to the glass.

The focus for my proposal has been to validate intuition as a methodology, transposing context for the found and evaluating chance. Through practical experiments I want to choreograph collisions between different graphical components of text, pattern and form, transforming the original into something new. Through this I aim to depict the interrelations between destruction and construction grasping the tension between order and disorder.

Making and Unmaking Text across performance disciplines

My proposal to present my writing practice at Beyond Text has been accepted. I will be presenting "Writing Centres", a practical investigation of the relationship between spatial and compositional structures in my current project Arena. The presentation of practice will explore text images in relation to performance, the resolution of movement practice in text, how a physical and writing practice meet...This research ground has evolved through my current post-graduate studies at Camberwell College of Arts and TrinityLaban (visual arts and choreologicalstudies).

I will be exploring spatial concepts beginning with the assignment of a centre within the kinesphere, the physical space constituted by our physical structure, the far reach of which is determined by motility. I will consider this concept in relation to text- where is the centre of the text, what centre of gravity? Through this analogy to the body I will ask questions about peripherality and multiple centres, exploring how this spatial strucuturing functions in my current text project Arena as I experiment with book and performance structures.

Central to the rationale for such a discussion is the usefulness of information transfer between disciplines- the understanding of one thing in terms of another and the possibility afforded my these multiple lenses.

Making and Unmaking Text is a dialogue addressing sites of language in contemporary practices. The three day eventlooks to expand the notion of the academic conference and is funded by AHRC as part of Beyond Text research.
