A Perambulation of Kent

“A Perambulation of Kent is the first English county history. It was written by William Lambarde, an Elizabethan antiquarian and lawyer. Lambarde wrote the text in 1570 but it was not printed until 1576. The book describes a journey through Kent and describes the antiquities of the county and its influence on English history. The text also includes a copy of Lambarde’s map of the ‘Heptarchy’ or the kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England that he had first included in a collection of Anglo-Saxon laws he published in 1568.”

“Dangling Modifiers”

I am pleased to announce my piece “Dangling Modifiers” was accepted to HAUS A REST magazine, Issue 37 Alter Ego’s. Dangling Modifiers is the document of an ephemeral performance capturing a subject in process, a momentary ecstasis where high on a hilltop in the Lake District I attempted to dance with Paul Klee using his drawing Knotted 1920 as the performative score. I engaged in an improvised choreography whereby the drawing was translated into movement by falling, jittering, twisting, snaking, weaving and shimmying on a hilltop like a deranged walker. This performance was part of a residency where several bodies slept together in a village hall, and explored their structures, rhythms, touch, possibilities, limits, and their fragilities. This text is the only document of the performance.
