Still working on "Show & Tell" which is beginning to take some shape but I am alone in the studio for the moment and looking forward to reconnect with Phil in December for our last working periods. But before that, I have a couple of gigs in Brussels and Paris with the solo, "We need to talk" as well as moving apartments. check tour dates here Should be a laugh as until now we haven't found one and the removal truck comes in less than two weeks. Looks like it's storage for our stuff!

Very fond of the horses arse as an image for "Show & Tell" - feels right in some mysterious, not necessarily definable way. This seems to tie in nicely with our general motto for the rehearsal process of this project...

Don't explain, don't apologize, no excuses and stop trying to make sense!

Began work in July on the first duo in a series of three that I have planned. It’s titled ‘Show &Tell’ and like ‘After Life’ the work tries to approach the notion of biography but this time through a very selective history of the body. I am pairing up with Phil Hayes on this one and it’s been a real treat to work together again. We have basically assigned each other the roles of ‘Show’ and ‘Tell’ and go about conveying or sharing intimate, confusing and defining body experiences through various articulations in these roles. There is also some interest in how we can assign the roles of ‘show’ and ‘tell’ to the space itself; that of tribune and stage, and how these limits become blurred, contaminated and ultimately shared. So there’s some work to do from within the audience as well as for the audience in the form of a presented show. We have jokingly referred to this (not yet rendered) evening as an accidental double booking. I can't wait to continue the process come mid August.

Presently spending some time in Berlin where I had some performances of «We need to talk» at the end of March in Hau. Now working in Eden studios with Nic Lloyd on a new project that is trying out the title «After Life». It's actually part of a series of duets that all deal with biography in some way or another. At the moment and at this really early stage of the project it looks like we are trying to create a space in which ghost bodies and other scary figures continue to live in a timeless zone that is both waiting room and eternal dance hall. They will probably take moments to get to know each other and ineveitably ask questions about their previous lives. It is fun to work with Nic again but also quite a challenge to work with notions of afterlife and the ethereal. This performance will come out around mid 2013 so still some time to go yet!

I will be traveling to Gent next week for gigs of «We need to talk» on 19, 20 April. Looking forward to spending a few nights in Brussels on route.
