Invited Contributor to thelastperformance.org

Judd Morrissey, a USA-based artist, has invited me to contribute to thelastperformance.org, a web-based meditation on lastness, in response to performance company Goat Island's final work, 'The Lastmaker'.

In Judd's words, thelastperformance.org is an online collaborative writing project responding to Goat Island's decision to make a final work...writers, artists, critics, etc. are invited monthly to contribute two short pieces of writing (or responses in other media). At the end of the month, the invited contributors may decide to contribute again for the new month or to invite a new participant to replace them (completion expected sometime in 2009).

I have also been invited, with Robert Wilsmore, Giles Brokensha, Simon Piasecki, and Sarah Jane Bailes, to 'interrupt' Judd's performance (with Lucy Cash) at the Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster, Friday 29th February, Prior to Goat Island's Performance of the Lastmaker and the Goat Island Symposium, Sat 1 / Sun 2nd March.
