I am thinking of exploring the affect of lies and the use of truth, lies and secrets.

I had an assortment of ideas for my performance. I knew I wanted to talk about the ‘dramacest’ which happens on our course, I wanted to confront the negative reactions to sex and also explore the ideas of gossip […] -

Emily Cook wrote a new post, Ah, a gap!, on the site Sex, Lies and Arts&Crafts 1 week, 6 days ago
Having just read through my old posts, I have realised that there is quite a substantial change in ideas and at no point have I explained this. There is a huge gap. And that just won’t do.
So, why did I drop […]

Emily Cook wrote a new post, My Performance., on the site Sex, Lies and Arts&Crafts 1 month ago
Because of the content of my performance, if I were to blog in detail about it the effect of it would be diminished and as such, the point of the performance would disappear. So if my posts appear vague, or […]

Emily Cook wrote a new post, A few ideas I’ve had and will explore:, on the site [As of yet, untitled] 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Staging: centre of studio 1, a circle of light wide enough for me to sit cross legged surrounded by books.
Possibility of using books, and the closing and dropping of them, as the beat of the poetry. The idea […] -

A problem I need to address within the creation of my performance is that of boring the audience.

Today’s task- planning a performance.

Emily Cook commented on the post, ‘And Nothing More.’, on the site James Hallam – Solo Performance 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I really like this as a poem, it’s both funny and yet it’s clear it’s something you’re scared of. Have you thought perhaps of not giving away that it’s the Exorcist so early? Build up the tension with the […]

Emily Cook commented on the blog post Notes on Durational Performance 5 months, 1 week ago
I think this is just right- our piece was directly influenced by the time we spent on it. As we spent more time in the room, we slipped into, as Beki said, an almost trance-like state and started to react to the dots in different manners. In terms of duration, I feel we could have [...]
