Sam Pettigrew and I met during the Felix Ruckert workshop ‘Tools - Impro Scores and Composition’ at Critical Path last year. Sam is part of the Sydney based Splinter Orchestra and the Now Now. I really enjoyed this jam and realize how mcuh I enjoy music/sound.

This is footage from our run through or actually the very first time we work together.
Rueben Ingall composer (experimental electronic) and myself performed an installation piece interested in the textures of pebbles! ha!
Close Range was an event curated by Alex Boynes (manager of CCAS) as part of their 2011 program.
ACT (Australia) Minister of Arts Joy Burch just announced that my project No Place is awarded the ArtsACT grant for developing the work in 2012. This is off course great news as I will spend time with my artistic team: Amelia McQueen, Sarah Kaur, Shoeb Ahmad, Janine Proost, Holly Diggle and Alison Plevey developing this interdisciplinary project.
The process will be documented on no-place.tumblr.com
Over the last two weeks I have been working with choreographer and dancer Rosalind Crisp and seven Australian dancers/choreographers in a ‘movement research practice’ workshop held at Critical Path Sydney.
Rosalind has invited us in to her vast “net” of frameworks, scores, tools and constantly asked us: what keeps you interested? what are you not allowing?
We have had lots of interesting discussion regarding improvisation as a practice, process and communicative material, performance.
Yesterday was the 10th and last day which we concluded with a ‘showing’ of our research practice.
This is Rosalind Crisp…
‘Folding’ a new work created by Madeleine Karlsson. Here we are exploring the resistance and collapse in the body’s “folds” and the micro folds in the surface/plywood.
