friday saw an evening at snape maltings to watch far by wayne mcgregor and random dance – the lighting object by Lucy Carter at the back of the stage was truly wonderful to watch - matched by the Ben Frost soundscape that at points disrupted ones internal organs but the dance was really in the way most of the time - a lot of the usual angular noodling which didn’t appear to go anywhere - a shame as i was looking forward to it. in the studio during the week I’ve been stitching into some of the bookworks i have been working on that celebrate their materiality – galvanised by a visit to the national gallery and viewing paintings that have pattern on cloth that does not take into account the fall and folds or perspective – teaching at nuca was a mixture of briefing, reading and feedback around learning agreements, one to one tutorials and support around the final show.
