11. paris is burning


Hello friends, 

I’ve just started my writing around reflection and professional learning and I am back to considering my work in tangible space. I needed a prototype of an idea and so I used artificial intelligence to generate some images of what I was working towards - I think this is really fun but also a really useful tool for transcribing my words into images. 

It inspired me to try it out as a blogging format - I’ve written eight sentences that sum up where I’m at - and I will let AI turn them into things. I'd love to hear what you can make of it…

I guess it’s reserved for excellence, it goes beyond whether the show met criteria and becomes a feeling? I’m not trying to sound cynical here, I actually think it’s super interesting. I would wish for more reviewers writing more critically around this, even if it’s just to acknowledge the feeling that it wasn

My name is Matthew Rawcliffe and I’m a dance artist from Manchester in the UK, currently living and working in Denmark as a company dancer.   I'm currently enjoying scouring second hand shops for any interesting and unusual books about installation, architecture, site specific art, silent movies and just about anything that catches my interest.  I began training professionally as a dancer at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, during which I competed in BBC Young Dancer - winning in the contemporary dance category. My interest in choreography was really pushed by the competition, for which I  created and performed two solo works which really stayed with me: the first I was asked to tour as  a guest artist with Kneehigh Theatre, the other was commissioned to be extended by SICK! Festival alongside performances as part of The Sadler’s Wells Program at Latitude Festival. This launched my career int
