After a lacklustre start due to persistant illness (and first sober New Year since time began) I feel that this year needs to bear fruit.
I also feel that it needs new levels of autheticity. I don’t have time to waste. I need to do this stuff now before I am old and infirm and no longer care.
So today was my first ‘bag-free’ performance.
I am trying to see how performance can fit more readily into my work. The ideas are there but I’m not sure that I am. How to tackle this rather primary issue has been troubling me for some time. It is all very well having the most interesting ideas in the world but if you can’t execute them you might as well try to crochet with jam.
A, as yet unofficially named, group has formed in the Embrace Arts building of Leicester loosely under the banner of Circuit, but more unofficial and free forming. At the meeting today there were five of us.
Having long struggled with ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ actions this was unknown ground for me having decided that I would do a performance at midnight last night it was pretty impropmptu – something that I never do.
It feels very strange writing about it here – not even sure that I can. Here is Sally Lemsford documentation of my performance.
