dAnCing LiNes
dAnCing LiNes explores how dance can generate a choreographic
view of drawing through mediated representation. Capturing chorographic scores and task-based instructions, the act of drawing is
interpreted as a choreographic activity through data visualisations.
Through cross artform partnerships with dancers, choreographers,
drone and robotics specialists, new artistic methodologies have been
deployed to reinterpret five multi-participant live choreographed
performances in public locations.
The resulting installation which comprises the projections of
the five data visualisations, and a robotic CNC Drawing Machine,
brings attention to the dancers’ patterns and formations, revealing
sightlines and perspectives that cannot be seen simultaneously
during the live events. The addition of ambience sound specific to
each location facilitates the creation of an immersive environment
that echoes the specificity of each location.
Becoming a ‘collaborator’ of the art making process, the CNC
Drawing Machine transfers the choreographic patterns and formations
back onto a roll of unfolding paper ‘live’ in the gallery space,
offering a further iteration of the translation of dance into drawing

Do You Love the Thunder?
Philip Reeve is an English author and illustrator of children's books, most notably his 2001 book Mortal Engines and its sequels (the 2001 to 2006 Mortal Engines Quartet). His 2007 novel, Here Lies Arthur, a retelling of the King Arthur stories, won the Carnegie Medal. Since then he has written the Larklight trilogy set in space in the Victorian era, a trio of prequels to Mortal Engines, the Railhead books about a world where space-travel is undertaken by trains, and three books about Utterly Dark, who lives on the island of Wildsea, whose residents are ruled by myth and magic. In addition to that he has published many books for younger children, often in collaboration with Sarah McIntyre.

The Words Already Around Us : A Conversation Between Rupert Loydell and H. L. Hix
In this dialogue H. L. Hix and Rupert Loydell discuss the reasons for “impersonal” methodologies in writing, in response to the overcrowded information age we live in and to fragmentation, appropriation and remixology. Philosophy, creativity, politics and the personal inform this debate, with the authors interrogating one another’s recent and past books of poetry as a springboard to think about the nature of 21st Century writing and current poetics
