A Stage of Transition

Once again, it has been ages since my last post...if I fail at anything it'll be this blog, that's for sure. Since our performances at CGP, it's been a period of reflection and analysis, culminating in a Lecture-Presentation we gave a couple of weeks ago and a Research Proposal we handed in last week for the summer term. All of which has served as a bridge between CGP and the start (or continuation) or our process for the Festival in September.

So what has arisen from this process? It would be too long (and possibly too boring) to go into it in massive detail, so let's have it in bullet points:

My work this year has been:

• Self-reflexive
• Concerned with manifestations of authority in art (or the institution, of the performer, etc.) and what happens when these authorities are questionned or played with
• Task-based and improvisational

Where I need to take my investigations into Failure:

• Needs narrowing down - too broad, even if it is just focused on the performing body
• Needs awareness of the thin line between failure and success - how are these concepts judges, at what point does one become the other, and where do my investigations stand in relation to this?
• How can I bring in considerations of the audience into my investigations?

...and more...
