Missing this. Can’t wait to be back in the tour van and hitting the road across the Europe.

Collage heaven. Prepping for the exhibition next week.

Video Jam returns to the Mill tonight, after an overlong hiatus. It feels good to be home.

It’s all coming together for Fleck, UK and European tour. So glad/proud to be a part of this.

Acre Tarn scoring a film by Alex Anikina (edited especially for this event from a feature length collection of visuals originally made for Mooncake Orchestra) at the Video Jam stage for Sounds from the Other City. 03/05/15.

Arresting, spine tingling stuff.

Re-visiting all my old notebooks for Video Jam work/research since mid 2011.

In discussion with artist Mary Stark and David Butler of the University of Manchester at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle, facilitated by Northern Film + Media. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to talk about my work with Video Jam; a first for me in this capacity. Some truly inspiring conversations.

A still from a film I’m currently working on, which will be screened and accompanied by a live score by Jack Sheen as part of Video Jam at Manchester Science and Industry Museum (14/05/14).

Working with Joe Snape on his new music ensemble piece Fleck, Flob, Flop (which tours the UK in May and Europe in June) has been a real joy - not least because Joe is a source of inspiration and I believe his work is genuinely brilliant, but also because I haven’t really worked in this capacity before - as a script editor. Dealing closely with the use of words rather than images, which is normally my thing, has allowed me to switch gears and exercise my brain in a different way. It’s given me a lot to think about in terms of my own work and where it’s leading.

Next month we embark on rehearsals and I’ll be thinking about staging and direction. Joe has written a lovely article about our collaboration here which also explains his use of text in the piece.

Hannah Buckley, her Nana, Elsie Brown, and myself are making a video piece inspired by Trisha Brown’s iconic solo Accumulation.

Significant Elders is a collaborative project between Dani Abulhawa, Hannah Buckley, Sarah Spies and Amy Voris that encourages cross generational dialogue as a path to mutual learning and appreciation. It strives to make older women more visible as a way of recognising their importance, through movement, conversation and bringing people together.

Accumulation with Elsie Brown, coming soon.

“In my films I follow an opposite trajectory to that of the makers of political films. They have a skeleton, an idea and then they put on flesh: I have in the first place the flesh, the skeleton appears later.””
