#partner project

Yesterday, we were paired up with someone that has a close link to the line of interest you were pursuing and tasked to make a publication that best fits the research you have done. 

Eva and I were both looking into translation but Eva was also looking at complexity and children books, so we most definitely had a link.

While discussing what to do, we thought that we’d use the interviews that I had conducted (as shown in previous posts) as a starting point. I spoke to Eva about being interested in the word manipulation and how that is translated through everyday conversations so we made our own narrative, a conversation, about the simplest thing, where to get something to eat.

We made the layout with the inspiration of Fillippo Tomasso Marinetti work Les mots liberté futuristes. We really wanted to show the chaoticness of following others opinions and not making up your opinion. The conversation starts very legible and the further you go on, the more chaotic it gets. We also printed on acetate to show that you can take opinions away and replace them with your own.

I thought that this day was more than valuable to me as it opened up so many different things I could look at in my project and what I can do to take it that step further. It has also helped with my research paper.

Partner Project // Closed @Makingithale AU

By the time Nova had headed into her dorm, she frowns and wiggled her toes. Looking down, she noticed that her shoes were... gone. "Oh..." she muttered to herself, only to laugh loudly in amusement as she shuffled over to the dining room table. Her dorm was large and was actually meant to accomodate 3 people, but she was the only one assigned to the room. She had brought the question up with the admin, but they simply responded "Rowan's orders". Right, whatever dad said, goes. She looked around and took a deep breath, smile fading when she realized just how quiet it was. Trying not to dwell on the atmosphere, She unpacked the multitude of sweets from her bag and spread them out over the table, then immediately heading for the bedroom which she had chosen for herself. THe bed was a doube, but it still didn't feel as comfortable as the one she was in at home. With an idea coming to mind, she headed over into the other bedroom and threw all the covers off the bed, and decided to try and push this one over into the other room. It was probably impractical and just a stupid idea, but this 3 room dormitory was all hers. Not like anyone was there to protest. It was a struggle, but she had finally managed to get the double bed out of it's original room, and through the doorframe of hers. They were heavier than they looked but the struggle was worth it. Her bed was the size of a king size one now, and that just meant more room for her to roll around in her sleep. The initial thought and excitement faded quickly though, immediately thinking of how she would normally pile up with her brothers. SHe then felt homesick again. Without really thinking,, Nova reached for her phone and looked up the latest contact she had added. She skipped it in the menu and looked at the disconnected numbers from before, and sent a couple more texts again. THe same error message popped up, but she sent another one anyway. The process just repeated, errors popping up as she repeatedly attempted to contact the disconnected numbers. Ii was a lost cause but she tried once more, before chewing her lip and flicking through to Eren's number. quickly dialling a message, she wondered if he would even respond.    [Text: Any ideas?]

After the dreaded class, Eren made his way back to his dorm. His roommate was still out which was nice. He tossed his backpack on the floor and climbed up to the top bunk.

College wasn't exactly what he had wanted. He had expected more concentrated classes that he actually maybe gave a shit about. But so far, He'd been bored by most of his classes and just been annoyed about having to wake up earlier than he wanted.

His roommate thankfully was never around, something about spending all his time in the library. Eren was beginning to regret not going to the same school as Armin and Mikasa...of course they had been smart enough for the school they chose and Eren hadn't.

He pulled out his phone and began to play a stupid free game. It was one of those ones that he always seemed to get addicted to for a week and then completely forget about after wasting at least 48 hours of your free time playing. He was rudely interrupted by a text from Nova.

He raised an eyebrow, rolling his eyes. The last thing he was thinking about was their stupid partner project.

This marketing project is almost over (praise be to god almighty) and even though I managed to redeem myself with the report I still did not get my recommendation to her fast enough.

There's also a study session for environment and urban sustainability tomorrow which I am not ready for at all because I really did not study anything this reading week. In fact, I probably wouldn't even have gotten the marketing done if Erin hadn't pushed me so hard. And she actually didn't even push me. If anything I drove myself a little nuts trying to outdo her and I didn't even come close. While I was still planning how to execute the report she was done. 

I did a shitty comparison chart too, as a place holder and she went ahead and revised it. She also basically re-wrote my Strengths and Weaknesses analysis. It's not that she changed the meaning or anything, but she edited so thoroughly that little of the material is still mine.

Christ, she's fast. It really shouldn't bother me this much. 

Also, basically all that's left to do is input the recommendations and then it's been mutually agreed that she'll submit on our behalf. She says she's going to wait for my my go-ahead but what's there for me to approve? It's a formality more than anything.

God, I hate partner projects. This sucks.

Singing City E-Notes | January 2013

Our partners at Singing City's January enewsletter featured an update on their PIFA project The Children's March. Here's what they had to say:

Our Moment in Time The Children's March

Singing City's 65th Anniversary Concert will feature the premiere of a new work commissioned by the choir called The Children's March. Composed by Andrew Bleckner with a libretto by Charlotte Blake Alston, it tells the story of the march in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 during the Civil Rights Movement that helped bring about the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We are producing a series of videos about the project beginning with this one in which Andrew and Charlotte talk about their creative work, collaborating, and the story itself, including parts of this work in progress.

To learn more about the Birmingham Campaign upon which this oratorio is based, watch this National History Day documentary on Bull Connor, Birmingham's Commissioner of Public Safety, whose use of police dogs and fire hoses on civil rights demonstrators dramatically backfired and called national attention to the Civil Rights Movement.

“69°S.” is a series of dynamic tableaux vivants inspired by Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Co-conceived by The Phantom Limb Company and The Kronos Quartet, this painterly narrative installation-in-motion melds theatrical performance, puppetry, photography, dance and film with original contemporary music and an unconventional acoustic palette to create a stunning — and unprecedented — artistic and emotional journey.
