ABOUT ERROLLYN reflections on the artist as creator and performer About Errollyn: reflections on the artist as creator and performer is a collection of audio observations by Errollyn Wallen and sound engineer Gerry O’Riordan on specific imperatives and points within the recording process of Errollyn’s first solo album, Errollyn, that was released in 2005. Through this examination of specific material, she considers her practice, and wider concerns, as a composer. A new essay by Andrew Blake, ‘Making Errollyn: making Errollyn Wallen’ draws on inside knowledge about the closed-door activities of composer, performer, and sound recorder in the recording studio. Mark Goddard has designed accompanying text and image cards which underline specific extracts from the audio reflections. Together, the sound and text pinpoint audio clues within the original tracks, and the album as a whole, that highlight the delicate blending of choices that take place in the studio. About Errollyn: reflections on the artist as creator and performer is now available by mail order from ResCen at a cost of £5 for postage & packing per order (please contact ResCen directly for orders over five copies). ISBN 0955059119 About Errollyn: reflections on the artist as creator and performer is published by ResCen Publications Read Reviews of this Album |

ART, NOT CHANCE Nine artists’ diaries Edited by Paul Allen Photographs by Hugo Glendinning 2001 Bobby Baker, Shobana Jeyasingh, Joanna MacGregor, Lawrence Norfolk, Jo Shapcott, Shelagh Stephenson, Tim Supple, Errollyn Wallen, Richard Wentworth. Nine artists, successful in different branches of the arts, each kept a diary over a period of a few months reflecting on their work in progress. The resulting narratives make an absorbing read and powerfully illuminate the process of making art. Music is improvised and composed, artworks conceived and displayed or performed, a novel is completed, poems are written, new plays evolve and old plays are reinterpreted. The diaries offer glimpses into the authors’ personal and professional lives and though each is distinctively different, all reveal that art is made in a practical matter-of-fact way. Though often obsessed with their work, these contemporary artists do not live the cliché of Romantic torment, nor do they indulge in ‘self-expression’. Dreaming up ideas is relatively easy, realising them is harder. They break boundaries of language and art form and all work internationally. They are enquiring, adventurous, as interested in the telling detail as in the grand design, self-mocking, problem-solving, inventive, diverse, thoughtful, ambitious, open-minded, sexy, fun. ‘… a generous and radical book, with so much passion, angst and imagination seething between its covers … compulsory reading for anyone who cares about contemporary culture.’ Louisa Buck, The Art Newspaper ‘… surprisingly intimate access to the agonies and ecstasies of creative minds … it made me want to read the novel, hear the music, see the show.’ Robert Hewison, The Guardian Paul Allen is best known as presenter of the Radio 4 arts magazine Kaleidoscope, and more recently of the Radio 3 cultural discussion programme Night Waves. He is also a playwright, who has written for radio and theatre. He is former chariman of the Arts Council Drama Panel and chairman of its New Writing Committee. He is vice-chairman of the Sheffield Theatres Trust and a member of Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust. He holds an Honorary Doctorate of Sheffield Hallam University, and teaches dramaturgy at the University of Sheffield. His biography of Alan Ayckbourn was published by Methuen (2001).

NAVIGATING THE UNKNOWN The creative process in contemporary performing arts ResCen, Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts is pleased to announce the publication of Navigating the Unknown: The creative process in contemporary performing arts, published by Middlesex University Press. This unique publication offers a fascinating insight into the different kinds of processes that practitioners in the performing arts undertake in their creative work and considers the implications these processes have in the wider world. Based on a five-year research programme supported by NESTA (National Endowment of Science, Technology and the Arts) this publication brings together internationally renowned performance makers in the fields of dance, performance, live art and music who share their creative processes. Chapters take us through analyses, reflections and conversations which address key issues in the creative process: intuition, inspiration, working processes, refining and presenting to an audience. The points of reference are diverse, from Plato to Poohsticks. Experts from disciplines outside the performing arts reflect on these processes from their own perspective, showing us the potential of creative work to help us understand the world around us. This publication is unique in its bringing together of academic research and the artist’s voice. Beautifully illustrated and imaginatively designed, it will be indispensable to those involved in performance studies and the performing arts. The book’s accessible style also makes Navigating the Unknown an outstanding addition to any performing arts enthusiast’s book collection. Read Reviews of this Book |
