A Geography of the Screen: Mapmaking as Bridge between Film and Curatorial Production Processes
Get PDFBoth mapping and artist documentary filmmaking offer us subjective translations of reality and strategies to relate to and represent space, sharing analogous methods of production that allow for a useful application of the spatial language of mapmaking to filmmaking. Immersing the film process within the language of mapmaking can then act as a bridge into the spatial practices of the gallery environment, curatorial practice, and exhibition design. This process is defined here as “film-mapping” and is investigated through the development of the work For the Record by Phanuel Antwi and Rhea Storr commissioned by the transmediale festival in Berlin (2021), for which the author of the present paper is the film curator. A process for film-mapping is laid out according to three stages: (1) Compose the Territory, (2) Define the Legend, and (3) Set the Modality. Understanding the production of For the Record through this mapping terminology enriches the spatial understanding of the work, providing a translation device between filmmaking and curatorial practice and mediating between the disciplines by providing a shared language.

Seeing what they want to see: An interview with Michael Bracewell
Get PDFWriter, novelist and cultural commentator Michael Bracewell was born in London in 1958 and educated at the University of Nottingham. He has written several novels and many works of non-fiction, including books about artists such as Gilbert & George and Richard Hamilton, and bands such as Roxy Music. England Is Mine. Pop Life in Albion from Wilde to Goldie (Bracewell 1997) and When Surface Was Depth. Death by Cappuccino and Other Reflections on Music and Culture in the 1990's Bracewell 2002) were much more ambitious and wide-ranging volumes that roamed popular music, culture and society, whilst his 2021 title Souvenir. London, 1979-1986 (which was reviewed in Punk & Post-Punk (Loydell 2022)) was a more reflective book which intrigued by the way it mostly wrote around the music it discussed, without engaging with it.
It was in response to Souvenir that I interviewed the author, who since my questions were sent to him has not only helped bring the new Gilbert & George Centre in East London to completion, but also published a new novel, Unfinished Business (Bracewell 2023a)

Embodying care: Trauma-informed practice in community dance
Get PDFAs part of the ATTUNE project, this article critically appraises the strengths of community dance as a trauma-informed practice and examines areas for development in relation to guidelines on trauma-informed care. In the context of exacerbated mental health problems amongst young people in the United Kingdom, meeting the diverse needs of people who attend community dance spaces requires robust and empathetic enquiry across sectors. This article presents a critique of regularly cited literature from the distinct disciplines of dance and psychology and focuses specifically on the merits of relational approaches within community dance
‘Creative weird’: Exploring gamification of communication and listening skills through play
Get PDFGamification has been a key emerging pedagogic approach
in developing multiple skills through playful learning. In
this article, we hypothesise that using a narrative-driven
physical card game improves communication and listening
skills in players through building an encouraging and
engaging user experience. Our evaluation from two player
groups of students revealed engagement and confidence
improvements in both communication and listening skills
development. Our findings also showed improvement
of player self-awareness of these critical skills as well as
highly reflective commentary related to communicating in
professional contexts. We conclude there are more elements
of interprofessional and interpersonal learning that can be
improved and supported through similar playful learning
approaches achieved through use of gamification-based
interventions such as we describe here
