Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
