New Idea

Inspired by my amazing friend Riley, this is an experiment to chronicle the creation process of a new work entitled Full Grown Baby Lemon. It will be performed at the end of February.

Reading Riley's entries i realized the awesome potential in this format. Such a specific voice gives the whole thing a performance quality, the feeling of a well-done voice over, the PRESENTATION of ANYTHING as fully formed despite its newness; in so many words, I want to use this space to present ideas, notations, and scores as finished product, and in this way, these ideas themselves take on a kind of personhood. They grow feet, feet grow shoes. I will use this as a tool.

I don't want to say what the work is about or what i'm dealing with. The purpose of the experiment is to put on display chunks that each individually stand as complete. Again, to endow pieces of the picture with livelyhood instead of stripping them of life by confining them to "process!" Let the vitality of performance infuse everything. This is my attempt to try and HEAR things more clearly.  

Hey,  This is Riley's blog, you should check it out!
