“ dear friend and colleague,
…….I am writing to ask you for a single word………”
Say the Word is a series of ephemeral performative collaborations, initiated by Terry O’Connor of Forced Entertainment and starting from a number of single words, sent by other artists.
In Non, after the word sent by the celebrated French conceptual artist Sophie Calle, Terry asked three lecturers in theatre from Sheffield University to collect examples of the word’s use in history, literature, and their own personal experiences.
Performed by Frances Babbage, Bill McDonnell and Steve Nicholson. The piece will be followed by a discussion, please stay if you can.
Terry O'Connor is a core member of internationally renowned performance company Forced Entertainment, an ensemble working together for 25 years making performance through a unique process of devising, improvisation and experimentation. Terry has also collaborated with Jerome Bel, Richard Maxwell, Meg Stuart, Tim Crouch and Ruth Ben-Tovim and others. In 2007 she was an invited artist within the School of English at Sheffield University and in 2008 she was again invited to contribute to Drama at Sheffield through the university’s Knowledge Exchange scheme. In 2009 she was awarded a five year AHRC Creative Fellowship to pursue contemporary paradigms for collaboration in performance at Roehampton University.

ELLA FINER AND FABRIZIO MANCO AHRC 'BEYOND TEXT' PROGRAMME STUDENT-LED INITIATIVE.
THE 'BUILDING SOUND' SYMPOSIUM
OLIVIER STALLS FOYER, NATIONAL THEATRE, SOUTHBANK, LONDON.
FREE ADMISSION
Ella Finer and Fabrizio Manco present 'Building Sound', an on-going research experiment in ways to describe and articulate experiences of sound making and reception within theatre, theory and practice.
As both Finer and Manco's doctoral studies are concerned with an interrogation of sound within theatrical space, the aim of building sound is to provide thinkers and practitioners an opportunity to offer their own ideas from their respective practices about sound within an actual and a virtual space.
Both the symposium and website are investigations into interdisciplinary dialogues about working with sound. A selection of speakers will come together and describe what sound means to them; to provide an interdisciplinary hearing and sharing of ideas and definitions, leading to an open discussion.
Speakers include Finn Andrews (The Veils), Ansuman Biswas, Steve Cleary, Marcia Farquhar, Simon Fisher Turner, Maggie Pittard and Mariella Greil & J. Milo Taylor,
