Hi Peter,

I like the tenor of this.

What, I wonder, is the gradual influence on the writing of such performative
practices? Are you beginning to write with those shifts of voice in mind?
Does it matter which voice? Through playing with such ideas, through
performance is any of the writing beginning to explore hitherto unattended
avenues?

looking forward to hearing more

love and love
