				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The looping of thoughts based on creating an invitation for a performance. The place where it would obviously be created. That place could be anywhere. A piece that brought both of these thoughts together. The open page. The empty stage. The location. The secrecy. The feeling of watching a stage before a performance in a theatre begins. The feeling of watching the stage after a performance.</p>
<p>Each time a performance is created it is done so in a different location, at a different time… Perhaps whilst sitting on a bus or lying down. Perhaps whilst waiting for a bus after midnight or in a hotel. The echo of the location also becomes part of the performance. I wonder when a person rereads the piece wether their original space is reimagined.</p>
<p>To imagine the stage. An imaginary stage. Each reader creates a different space in their minds. The idea that nobody can ever truly know what was ever imagined. This is the reasoning behind the piece &#8211; a performance created only in the mind of the reader.</p>
<p>The spaces imagined could translate into drawings. Into conversations. Into sounds. Into sculptures in which all of the elements are represented physically. Material variables as outcomes. The stage before the performance. The pistachios without shells. The emerald labyrinth.</p>
