I finally managed to perform this without major tech issues! unfortunately, I find that when you become well versed in one of your own performances is becomes still harder to envisage how any aspect will come across to an audience I felt less enthused about it today, but maybe that was the nerves the most frustrating thing, I think, is how little the documentation serves to reflect it. So much of the text is just illegible on the video. Ah well, at least someone other than me has seen it now!
Also- I can spell ciao- I just had a full of mindblank at the beginning of this and forgot everything I was supposed to be typing.

Something I have really enjoyed over the last term is becoming involved in other peoples' artworks- generally more than producing my own! Not only was I cast in Sarah Grundy's Opera Du Mal, I have helped Deanna Smith with her various, tender and bizarre gestures (the Existentialist disco being one of my favourites), I performed with Anima Collective in the realisation of Jayne Dent's beautiful Saum and Suther {which you can listen to here], and here I am with an onion on my head as Jeremy Paxman (ask Eli Samuels, an artist with a great sense of humour) CIRCA invited Jayne to curate a new series of performances at their Bookshop project at the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art. I was lucky enough to be invited to perform my response to Josh Wilson's score. as part of Jayne Dent's Underscore project, I have written a text in response to Josh Wilson's photographic score.
