GETTING A GRIP
Having embarked on my a-n Re:view and crashed to a halt with my fractured ankle, I am at last getting back on track. It’s been an uphill struggle after the boot was removed, my inactive leg muscles having stiffened up and my other leg thinking ‘I’ve had enough’. Is that how life is? Ok when fully supported, then when that support is removed, a whole different ball game emerges.
Anyway, stretch, stretch and more stretches, here I am today. Off to see Hen Norton on Monday for the second Bursary session. How much have I moved on since the first one?
Thinking broader, wider, higher at least. I’ve changed my statement from addressing social issues to critical engagement with social issues and have ditched a whole load of guilt about not actually achieving any addressing. What did I mean by addressing anyway? Changing? That’s a big ask.
So now off to some more critical engagement. Sophie Cullinan and I, collaborating as SSoCiaL, have been commissioned for a residency at the Arts Development Conference in November, a partnership between Arts Development UK and a-n The Artists Information Company. We are on a roll with that: www.a-n.co.uk/p/3800369/
