Notes from a chapter/ A collective whole/ An external debate/ New rules.

The transformative power of performance

Its funny how when you’re reading something you automatically relate everything you possibly can to your own practice. This is what I did with the first few pages of the first chapter of this book. So must in fact the notes shown here no longer make any sense to me. It is an endless linking of concepts and ideas that slowly spiral out of control. I WANT EVERYTHING TO LINK UP, MAKE A COLLECTIVE WHOLE AND STILL MAKE SENSE.

This is a board of endless possibilities with need for resolve. It is small nuggets of concepts that attempt to form a whole through there linkage. This does not work.

Pick ONE Lauren! Pick one and play. Do not attempt to form a whole. There is too much for you to do everything all at once. Look for relevance where necessary. Do not find it in everything.

On the other hand are you doing what you suggested above? In a loose way are you indeed ‘following the rules to and excess so they no longer make sense?’ following your own subconscious set of rules? Following them to such an access so they no longer make sense to you? THERE YOU GO AGAIN LINKING EVERYTHING.

Make new rules Lauren. Make them you manifesto then exhaust theses rules as much as you have the others. FOLLOW THEM SO THEY NO LONGER HAVE RELEVANCE.
