On Tuesday 15th February, at The House, University of Plymouth, I will present a performance that responds to the text of ‘revised dictionary supplement’, the second of the projects published in At Sounds Like: 3 Projects. Using dance, improvised actions, and gestures I will treat the textual material as a score for movement, as a ground for further inscription, and as an occasion of variant reading. The live event will draw attention to the materiality of language, to writing as going on, to (im)possibilities of (mis)communication.

On 23rd September, editor James Davies of if p then q books published a new book of mine. At Sounds Like: 3 Projects brings together three texts that have elements of performance, sound and procedure.

A sample of the text, more information and a link to order the book are here on the if p then q website.
