We use Zoom as the 'studio' for our research to accommodate our health needs. We meet online once a fortnight to develop our practice and use Padlet to work asynchronously outside of scheduled sessions. We are exploring how to work together in online spaces.

For this project, film serves as a creative medium for documenting, editing and sharing the material generated through our process, and we embrace the poetic device of storytelling to focus on the lived experience of chronic pain.

The Language of Pain collective met this week to start work on a new creative project - to create a multimedia film that articulates and expresses subjective and collective experiences of living with chronic illness and pain.

As I make the final edits to my first book, I am forever grateful for the contributions of my cats, without whom the process would be quicker and easier.

I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous group of lived experience experts on The Language of Pain, creative research that used the arts to explore the expression of pain narratives.

Last week I saw Claire Cunningham's "Songs of the Wayfarer" at Lilian Baylis Studio. I was inspired by the accessible and inclusive framing: relaxed viewing, introducing the sound and lighting levels the audience would encounter...A brilliant performance, beautiful choreography tinyurl.com/2m5yv245

#FestivalOfCare Technologies can have positive implications for healthcare, but what about 'care'? It matters that interrelationality becomes an illusion, but who does it matter for? Delegating care to non-human agents risks losing what it means to be human, overlooking the invisible.
November 24, 2024 at 9:28 AM
#FestivalOfCare Technological 'solutions' transform relation to the body, care, society. In 2019, the UK government spent £34million to develop carebots (Who Cares, 2023), but the 'necessity' emerges from the chronic underfunding of the health and social care sector.
November 24, 2024 at 9:19 AM
#FestivalOfCare A key takeaway was the danger of viewing technological progress as inherently positive. Carebots do not have 'embodied presence' as the workshop suggested. The delegation of care to non-human agents is seen as more efficient, but at what cost?
November 24, 2024 at 9:09 AM
#FestivalOfCare at The Whitford, Manchester considered: What happens when we consider care a craft or an artful practice? A uniting theme was invisibility (invisible labour, experiences, tacit knowledge) and how we experience, recognise, and give 'voice' to or share these. tinyurl.com/yskbntsk

I'm currently exploring video-supported learning in dance technique classes using video livestream and live annotation.

YouTube has closed my account for 'violating community guidelines'. Their automated review systems have confused contemporary dance with inappropriate content. I mean.... what?
