books

I’m quite bad at maths but I’m pretty sure that, if all the blog posts I wrote 2011-2021 were published in a book, it would be about as long as George Eliot’s Middlemarch. Obviously I wish I’d actually written Middlemarch. Instead I have words in these books:

Like a book group for theatre (Routledge, 2022) 

What a delight to be able to write about Theatre Club for a book about the study of audiences. I use things people said in response to plays to form an argument for slow dialogue and gentle disagreement.

Performance in an Age of Precarity (Methuen, 2021) 

Half by me, half by Andy Field. Creative-critical essays on performance-makers including Selina Thompson, Nic Green, Rajni Shah, Sheila Ghelani, Scottee, Ray Young, Rachel Mars, and more.

A more accurate word for enclosure might be partition (LADA, 2021) 

A short essay on the colonial legacy in Cyprus, where my parents are from, in Sheila Ghelani and Sue Palmer’s wonderful book Common Salt. 

 

 

 

two brown covers, each with red margin, and writing at an angle
 Challenging Archives (2020) 

Written in response to the Franko B archive, beautifully designed by David Caines. Open from one side to a text by Mary Paterson, flip to read a text by me. I have a lot of spare copies if you’d like one.

Small Actions, Everyday Encounters (Intellect Live, 2020) 

An essay in an inspiring book about Joshua Sofaer, focusing on permission and the possibility of change in his community work Gold Nose of Green Ginger.

Eternity in an hour (2015) 

A response to one of Sheila Ghelani’s Rambles with Nature.
