Rethinking screenwriting credits and the unproduced screenplay: Innovative approaches to accreditation using the script reading as an output
Get PDFThis article explores the definition of what constitutes a ‘produced’ screenplay and how it relates to the screenwriter and their accreditation for their work by industry standard definitions. The article challenges the industry-accepted norm that a screenwriter’s work is recognized after the script has been translated to the screen and argues instead that, in line with other media and craft forms, the screenplay and the author can achieve recognition through other forms of showcase. Through comparisons with industry examples, we assert that the script reading is, in and of itself, a valid production and can serve as a means of allowing writers to achieve accreditation for their work as writers, without relying on union conventions that privilege the screen work over other forms to allow writers to receive accreditation for their writing. To explore this, the article uses two case studies, The Script Department, a virtual screenwriting studio that uses podcasting to produce script reading dramatizations, and one of their most successful productions, The Clearing, written by Belinda Lees. The Script Department’s success in attracting mainstream industry interest, as well as the success of Lees’s screenwriting on the platform, demonstrates that a reliance on a single mode of production (i.e. film or television) as a means of evaluating a writer’s credentials is no longer definitive and that the script reading as a performative exercise can be both a form of showcase and of benefit to the writer looking to improve their craft

Everything Is Never Enough
Get PDFA book of ekphrastic poems catalyzed by images of animal tracks in the sand of Africa's Saharadesert and the snow of Wyoming's Snowy Mountains. The images were takenby a pair of biologists — an American (Jeffrey A. Lockwood) and aMauritanian (Mohamed Abdellahi Ould Babah EBBE) — who have beenscientific colleagues and good friends for 24 years. The tracksrepresent a wide range of creatures native to our respective homelands(~20 from each place).
The writers were assigned images that either matched their environment(i.e., sand tracks to Mauritanian poets and snow tracks to US/UK poets)or contrasted with their conditions (i.e., sand tracks to US/UK poetsand snow tracks to Mauritanian poets). And in a few cases, the same sandor snow image was provided to poets from both places.
The goal of this venture is to create aesthetic bridges between distantlands to evoke a sense of common ground in terms of ecology and culture.The organizers/editors of the project have found over many years thatwhat they have in common — despite their very different homelands,faiths (Sufi Moslem and Unitarian Universalist), languages (Arabic,French and English), foods (camel's milk cheese and cheddar cheese), andarts (nifara and saxophone) — is far greater and deeper than whatdivides them. And the world is in desperate need of both celebratingcultural differences and embracing our shared humanit

Dorsal Practices—Towards a Back-Oriented Being-in-the-World
Get PDFDorsal Practices is a process-based, interdisciplinary artistic collaboration between choreographer Katrina Brown and writer–artist Emma Cocker. This research enquiry explores the notion of dorsality and the cultivation of a back-oriented awareness in relation to how we as sentient bodies orientate to the self, others (human, more-than-human), and interconnected world. Since 2021, Dorsal Practices has unfolded through the interrelation of three fields of experimental, embodied research practice: movement-based practices, conversation practices, and experimental reading practices. Dorsal Practices explores how the tilt or inclination towards dorsal (dis)orientation might enable new
modes of thinking–perceiving and being–with, and more connected, sustainable ways of living and aliveness based on the reciprocal, entangled relationship between self/environment. We ask: How does the cultivation of a back-oriented awareness and attitude shape and inform our embodied,
affective, and relational experience of being-in-the-world? Rather than a mode of withdrawal, of turning one’s back, how might a back-leaning orientation support an open, receptive ethics of relation? Central to this enquiry is an attempt to explore how different linguistic practices might be developed
in fidelity to the embodied experiences of dorsality: how the experiences of listening, languaging, even thinking, might be shaped differently through this embodied tilt of awareness and attention towards the back
The Good Postmodernist: an interview with Ellis Sharp
Get PDFEllis Sharp is the author of sixteen novels (including two works of autofiction – Lamees Najim (2015a) and the lockdown journal Twenty-Twenty), seven collections of short fiction and a collection of reviews and critical essays drawn from a now defunct blog, The Sharp Side. His fiction is predominantly anti-realist and experimental in form, playing with established narrative traditions and genres, and using devices favoured by a diverse range of modernist and post-modernist writers.
