1.I FIND THIS EXCITING AND THE “BEST” USE OF UR ORIGINAL RESEARCH THAT I HAVE SEEN
2. U R REALLY ONTO SOMETHIGN HERE
3. THEY COULD BE A 2 CHANNEL VIDEO OR A PROJECTION OF THE ORIGINAL SOURCE AS U “MOVE-DANCE” ?????
HOW R YOU SEEING THIS RESULTING?
4. SOME R REALLYYYYYYYYYYYY STRONG , SOME NOT
5. MY TAKE IS DONT TOUCH SPINNING.. PERFECT AND WONDERFUL
6. FALLING IS “DANGEROUS” LOOKING BUT FABULOUS BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT U DONT NEED TO SHOW GOING ON THE GROUND AT 6 MINUTES IN. SPOILS THE FEEL
7. U CAN LOOP THE ONES U LIKE AND LET GO OF OTHERS OR REDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE ONES THAT R NOT AS STRONG??
8BODY MELTING DONT SHOW FLOOR
9. HAYBALE IS TOO STICKISH
10 MOUNTAIANS, I DONTFEEL THIS PONE AT ALL. AND AM NOT WANTING TO HEAR “SOUNDS”
11 U KNOW THAT THERE IS A “CHEAP” CAMERA SOUND ALONG WITH UR SOUNDS AS U MOVE WHICH I ACTUALLY LIKE.. IT MAKE IT FEEL VERY AUTHENTIC AND DATED...LIKE SOME OF THE WORK FOR FROM THE 70’S...AND THAT LEADS ME TO ADD
12. DO U CARE THAT IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE THE 70”S??/I LIKE IT. BUT MAYBE HAVING A S DOUBLE SCREEN WIOUTL “FIX THAT” IF THAT IS A N ISSUE FOR U

Thank you Linda ...... I will give all this some thought.
I DO actually like the 70s feel! ........ it came about
unintentionally, but i do like it.
Laura is away on vacation at the moment ..... but I’ll
forward this once she gets back.
at the moment I’m doing a series of live performances
using some of this material.
it’s part of an annual winter dance concert in an old
church in Knoxville TN
... it’s an intimate, informal setting - so it’s a good
place to see what evolves ...
winter break
catch-up
CEB - Jan 19th
dear linda ...
i’m going to spend the next
couple of weeks of the winter break looking at the work i’ve done so far last
semester - looking at your comments plus the feedback from the residency etc
& editing the work.
... i’d like to send you
things as i’m working on them so you know where i’m at with it all ......
warm wishes for cold days!
LMM
Claire I wd also like to see the feedback in very
haiku condensed form
yes send as u do
CEB
haikus
.... that sounds like an interesting challenge!
i will send you some of the
videos from the performances i did in knoxville TN in december.
they
were part of an annual winter concert called “Modern Dance Primitive Light”
presented by Circle Modern Dance.
this was the dance company i was a co-founder & co-director of for ten years & are having their 25th anniversary year.
this was the dance company i was a co-founder & co-director of for ten years & are having their 25th anniversary year.
i
presented a live-performance version of RAW-(Material) - using gestures, motifs
& sounds originating from my interactions with nature & then developed
in the studio.
there were six performances
(two a night for three nights) - but i will just send you a couple of them.
this video was from the late-night friday show -
... for this particular show there was a smaller audience - so i decided to experiment with setting up the performance itself as a “selfie” video shoot ..........
RAW-(Material) at Modern Dance Primitive Light - Fri Dec 18th - 9pm show
https://youtu.be/8GkUloUe4ek
LMM
was this from transastrt am confused
I like the selfie aspect a lot
and ur different “moods”
and dragging the camera
very nice effect
what abt transasrt

Hello Lindas!
I’m replying to all because it might be useful to
cross-reference a bit, as we all saw each others presentations.
I presented
the chronology of my “RAW-(Material)” journal so far ...
showing
excerpts of videos, images, sound pieces & text from my Nature Studies
& Body Studies in Berlin, Nottinghamshire UK & Southern Appalachia.
I wrote a connecting narrative to make my journey
comprehensive to my audience.
Even though
I had practiced the presentation several times - once I was doing it for my
peers, it took so much more time than by myself ... so I wasn’t able to receive
as much feedback as I would have liked.
... I’m about to go through all my notes for details of
people’s responses - but the general response seemed to be encouraging me
that I was on a good path ... but to push even deeper into possibilities &
to be ruthless in my editing process.
Ladan & Omayra were both much more clear & concise
in their presentations!!!

haha ... yes
..... it’s a reaction to being accused of being lazy when i was young!
so now i
never feel like i’m working hard enough or doing enough!
...
breathing easier is good

CEB
on the
other hand .... some feedback i received was that it was a good thing to just
keep working, making, creating as much as possible - because:
“The only
rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all
of the work all the time who eventually catch on to things.” - corita kent
LMM
sure
true
u will know
now u have both opinions
don’t stoip prematurely
buttttttttttttttt remember thatas a child u didn’t want to
appear lazy
CEB
yes ... it
is important for me to examine where the motivation is coming from
CEB - Jan 24th
Linda - I’m thinking more about the “doing” / “being” thing
..... (working vs. feeling etc.)
there is a
joke that goes something like:
Western
philosophy is all “DO DO DO”
Eastern
philosophy is all “BE BE BE”
& Frank Sinatra is all “doo-be doo-be doo-be doo-be
doooo”
I think that’s funny ......... but I think maybe Frank’s got
the right idea - it’s all about the balance of doing & being - & what’s
necessary/appropriate when.
I feel that
- with my work - I have to DO a lot of hard work to set something in motion
..... but then, once I’m inside it, then I can just BE ... I can just feel
& respond & exist in the art.
That’s one
reason why I have done so much durational performance installation .....
because, although it takes so much time & work & effort
to make - once inside the piece I can just exist ... I can transform &
become part of another world & stay in there - just BEING.
The work I am doing now is more about creating lots of
smaller explorations & experiments ... so it becomes much more about the “doing”
- & then seeing what results.
I think my “inner
child” accused of being lazy is really wanting to prove herself because she is
IN SCHOOL!
& in
SCHOOL you must WORK HARD.
This is not
just about ME - creating my work ....... but in the context of an MFA, it’s
about having to PROVE something!
So I think that’s why I’m working working working!!! I’m in
school & I mustn’t be lazy!
time to

AS LONG AS U KNOWWWWWW
Sand
CEB - Jan 22nd
i’m going to go back to the beginning of the project .......
this is the
edited version of the SAND video
i made a
sound track with my voice & rubbing hands together
i also
tried different effects so it doesn’t seem so sweaty & “menstrual” - as you
call it!

CEB
thanx linda
........... i’m liking the atmosphere of this piece now ..........
sound is a
new thing for me - so i’m not very sophisticated with it yet!
the
transart peer who commented on this video was the one who had done camera for
this ........ so she wanted to see more of the original grainy sand texture etc
that she had been seeing through the camera ............... but i think some of
that texture is still there - just transformed
LMM - Jan 23rd
keep transforming
Hay Bale - video
CEB - Jan 23rd
this is one
i don’t think you’ve seen yet
i shot Hay
Bale in the UK & only just edited it.
the crunchy sound is from me walking in the dry straw ... i kind of like it - but am wondering if i need to add more sound ... maybe a hand-clapping rhythm ...

last one
for today!
a studio study of some of the gestures from the Hay Bale ...
as if i am
still flat up against it ....
you saw an
earlier version of this & said you thought it looked “stick-ish”
- so i tried editing with a letterbox to focus on the core
of the body ... maybe less stickish?

Elderberries -
video & text
CEB - Jan 24th
... &
the theme for today is ........
ELDERBERRIES!!!
... before you watch the video - read the short poetic text
that goes with it:
Elderberries
Southwell Trail, Nottinghamshire
Smooth white skin milky in
moonlight
(in flashlight – another
interrogation? Caught out in the middle of nowhere at 5 o’clock in the morning
“What are you doing here?” ?)
- Autumn Equinox
a black majic ritual of death
- suspended death
dark potion of Shakespeare’s
Juliet - a suspended temporary death of the body of the lover
- until such time as it is safe
to revive.
- when love can exist again (open
the wine)
- until then the potent black
potion keeps the lover in death.

CLAIRE AND MAIN TEACHER
1. LIKE THE SHORT EDITS ALOT
2/ LIKE THE NATURYAL SOUND
3. AT 250 IT SEEMED LIEK I SAW THE
FLASHLIGHT BUT NOT BEFORE
4. SOLARIZE????
INSTEAD OF NATURUAL
5. NEEDS EOMETHING
CEB
hmmmmmmm ...... ok ...... i will have a think about what
the “something” is .....
my editing software is very old fashioned - i might try a
newer version & see what other possibilities there are ......
ELDERBERRY IMAGES are attached
you have seen some of them - but i know you can’t open
flickr, so you won’t have seen all of them ..........
taking images really helps me to get a sense of the material
of the subject ... & it helps to focus me
LMM
amazing ur energy and follow through

thank you so much for your responses - I know I’m sending a lot of stuff for
you to look at & I really appreciate the way you bounce your responses
straight back to me.
I’m catching Laura up with all our recent e-mails &
would like to maybe have another 3-way skype for the 3 of us to talk sometime
early February.
I have a couple more pieces I want to send to you ... I’ll
do that in the next couple of days & then we’ll be all caught up on the
progress of the project so far .......

hmmmmm ..... ok - that was an unexpected
response to the Mountains video!
This one is a studio session identifying
themes from my interactions with the mountains - they are titled so that my
intentions are clear
themes of:
Breath / Presence Spirit
Embrace/Chant
Mountain Top / Hail Salut
Mist / Mourning Loss
Laughter / Release
Earth / Fertility
so how a sanctimonious christ figure emerged from all that, i don’t
know!
LMM
have to be
with this to comment after awhile
CEB
ok ...
thanks for giving it your time Linda
oxo
LMM
I am taking a rest but am considering
what u r doing
CEB - Jan 29th
OK ... i will do that Linda - it will probably be a good
thought exercise for me to try & articulate.
Before that
... there are just a couple more things to send you from last semester’s work
that i’ve re-edited ...... so i will go ahead & send them
- look at them in your own time whenever you are ready.
peace
LMM
cool
send them to me
I wd like u to study SOUND
u tube sound artists
CEB
i know a
lot of sound artists & often collaborate - sound is very much part of my
world - that’s why i’m drawn towards including it in my work ..... starting
with the body - the voice
LMM
THATS WHAT I MEANT
STUDY THE VOICE
ON U TUBE OR WHEREVER
STUDY THE VOICE
ON U TUBE OR WHEREVER
CEB
yes ... my
mother is a voice teacher - i grew up with classical music - i was absorbing it
in the womb!
i’ve been
seeking, searching with my voice for something ....... there are many
many improv vocalists who seem to find their little repertoire of sounds &
then just use them all the time - because they feel safe with them ..........
but i don’t really want to find a “comfort zone” with it -
I like the
way Lynn Book approaches the voice a lot ....
i’ve been
doing some short vocal experiments in the studio - can you open Sound-Cloud?
LMM
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH U KNOW I CANT DO THAT
CAN U PUT ON UT TUBE??/
CAN U PUT ON UT TUBE??/

Linda ... just to keep you posted on life-in-general etc ...
i’m about
to go on an artist residency/retreat for the month of Feb
it’s at the
John Cage Memorial Park in Chance MD - on Deal Island by the Chesapeake Bay
i’m going to continue this project, working in the
environment there - mid-winter by the bay.
my mum is
doing better - still very weak & unable physically, but she has been coming
out of her “concussion fog” finally! .... i was a bit concerned about leaving
for a month - but dad feels confident he can take care of things ok
- they are planning to back to England in March.
so i will
be in touch again soon - from Deal Island!
peace &
blessings
