activate Journal issue 1, Vol. 1.
Published May 2011
activate is a peer-reviewed electronic journal based in the Department of Drama, Theatre and Performance at Roehampton University, London. The contributions to the inaugural issue, On the paper floor: exploring writing practices, share a concern with language “not as a text, but, as an event”, as Tim Etchells, the artistic director of Forced Entertainment, has aptly noted (1999, p. 105). This publication’s aim is to explore the notion of writing as a way of performing as well as the ways that performance is being elaborated through linguistic and writing processes; and in this way, to expand the forms and ways that one can “make writing perform” (Pollock 1998, p. 75). Includes my article The Inscription of Art and Everyday Life: How Being Slips into Performance.

Mulberry Tree Press: Partial Fictions
Published May 2011
A collaboration between SE8 (Nicolas de Oliveira, Jonathan Houlding, Nicola Oxley), and St Pierre & Miquelon. This collection of partial fictions is the outcome of a collaborative project on the relationship between objects, location and language. In particular, it is concerned with the translation or transcription that takes place in order to facilitate the passage from one place to another, from the studio and the gallery to the printed page. Includes my antepress collaboration with Patrick Coyle and conductor Anthony Weeden, Getting to the Point.
