Ritual & Fashion
Some people are surprised to find that I love fashion, but who doesn’t love wearable art? I’m pretty sure it must have been the poet/translator Alessandra Bava who pointed me toward ‘Embodying Pasolini’ a performance co-created by Olivier Saillard and Tilda Swinton. To honour Pasolini and his long film career, Saillard and Swinton evoke the…

My essay on Susanna Clarke’s Mr Simonelli is out now in the journal Revenant.
Coming Soon: Bissette, Moore & Me
The cat’s out of the bag on this long-gestating project: my contribution came about from the 2010 Conference on Alan Moore at the University of Northampton that the now-sadly-departed Nathan Wiseman-Trowse organised. My presentation: Rite Here: Ritual, Performance and the Magick of Place From his first public working, The Birth Caul, Alan Moore has always had…

TOA/V: Volcano Saga
Thanks to Nicholas Currie (on Facebook, but he linked to his Tumblr site) I was delighted to see “Volcano Saga” yesterday. It’s a performance piece by Joan Jonas, whose fairytale-inspired installation “The Juniper Tree” I wrote about when it was at the Tate Modern. What could be more wonderful than bringing together two things I…
Review: Let the Right One In @ Dundee Rep
It was a treat to see this production of the National Theatre of Scotland here at Dundee Rep. I loved the film Let the Right One In (less so the American remake, predictably) but this was an intriguing idea for adaptation and the press preview I attended had whetted my appetite for the experience.
