 Dear MAPP community  2 things - firstly, I was involved recently in a panel as part of research into the effects on the dance community of Brexit and Covid.  May issues, of course not least the difficulties of working in Europe as part of the new situation post Brexit.  As part of my review of this I came across this from Tanz im August (the director was on the panel too) https://www.tanzimaugust.de/en/programme-2020/online/digital-conference/?fbclid=688 Secondly, we are looking forward to various drafts over the next week - please do send in, adn M3's can also book for tutorials next week. Happy writing all! Angela

 Dear MAPP community, I have very much enjoyed our conversations this week in tutorial and look forward to more tomorrow. We also have our final Sunday session of the term this Sunday.  We are lucky to have guest artist Becky Namgauds coming in to give a talk on her practice. Do have a look at her website here:   https://www.beckynamgauds.com We are proud that her recent work Like Honey was made in collaboration with our recent graduate Amanda Pefkou. Becky is a young artist making her reputation for emotionally charged and theatrical work, and speaking to questions of the female body in our current times.  See you all on Sunday.

 Dear MAPP Community, As I reflect on the issue of writing, following Peter's presentation this last week I was reminded of French philosopher Jaques Derrida who so wonderfully articulated the process for himself in a beautiful text 'Memoirs of the Blind; The Self-Portrait and Other Ruins' - I offer some of his thoughts here in which he talks of an exercise of writing without seeing: ' What happens when one writes without seeing? A hand of the blind ventures forth alone or disconnected, in a poorly delimited space; it feels its way, it gropes, it caresses as much as it inscribes, trusting in the memory of signs and supplimenting sight. It is as if the lidless eye had opened at the tip of the fingers, as if one eye too many had grown right next to the nail, a single eye, the eye of the cyclops or one-eyed man. This eye guides the tracing of the outline ( Trace); it is a miner's lamp at the point of writing, a curious and vigilant substitute, the prosthesis of the se...
