Start with The Beach, falling down, trying to perfect a grace, so this is me trying movement, and then in the end I sing it, the beginning of the song at the end again, if I’m allowed to sing. And I’m not happy with my singing
Journey with a look to the future, but also diving into the past
On Tuesday’s Kickboxing I relived some of my Sport Trauma
In Kickboxing trying to do Kick, never quite worked, keep trying, and then I do Liegestütze,
The effort of these sport stuff, my body still feels traumatised, there are some things I don’t feel comfortable talking about in this space, only in therapy and Student Support. But my body and memory go back to all the sport I did, Judo, Training and Basketball. Why didn’t I do ballet.
Trying to ballet, struggle with the Showdance choreo
Just do free-flow, improv, I do my dancing like I did with Thikwa people, must write to them.
I must write write
Then I do movement like I wanted to do in Kickboxing, I feel better doing something because I don’t have to do it right now. Do free flow movement,
- Then the voice over comes over: “That’s not enough. It needs to be bigger. More ambitious. Das reicht nicht, dass entspricht nicht unseren Forderungen, ihren Forderungen (reminded of that non binary performer who performed in gay club and suddenly anxiety spoke, they were taken aback)
Oh maybe guitar then, piano, oh I have no piano. Need to run back down from right upstairs because I forgot my piano, makes people realise how I feel, Marcy if watching might relate to running down to forgotten MA Seminar students
Academia. Im re-expressing.
Isn’t this very lethargic.
Is this an art piece or therapy session?
“Richard stop being distracted. Mental Health, Guilt, Guilt, Distraction, Trigger”
My father’s death. He’ll always follow me on my journey.
- Need a techie to play sound.
Can I do this some time in January? Would make it easier.
The Coke can. The Coke can must make a cameo, make me really excited, look around. But then ask people, is this really Art? Now come on academics, give us some insight? Need academics, artists and students here, and someone like the girl i met on bumble, or Courteney? Down to earth people I mean
And then also with the Coke sound, Kelsey discovering analogue sounds and rediscovers instruments (oh could he Rio in to create some instruments with them)
But where else was Kelsey, in being overwhelmed? In always worrying, in being frustrated. In collaboration, in the the dream to create this Gesamtkunstwerk, but then it might go so terribly wrong.
Watching art to be inspired
Where my ideas come from
Journey:
Could just be in the Project Room or the Creative Arts Studio
Or:
- Creative Arts Studio
- Outside Creative Arts Studio (but it will be winter)
- Common Room
- Lecture Hall (Edward Davies)
- Project Room
- Painting Studio next to project room
- The round passageway in between, where the Still Life Performance took place (play still life by suede as a reference) – can also have the audience below like they were in still life, can also have another person directing them around, if it doesn’t all work by integrating it into my script
- Other Painting Studio, actually no maybe these social distancing barriers make it difficult.
- Smaller Gallery Space
- Lecture Space where photography dark materials was
- Lighting Studio
- Computer Room
- Bigger Gallery Space, with Piano
- Right, I cannot do all this, this is ridiculous… deicide.
SWEET POTATO DANCE
THE END
This idea came to me when lying on the floor for an audio heavy Ensemble Performance Show & Tell
So I just wanted to….
…what?
