Call for Expressions of Interest in joining.
Sunday 16 June – Sunday 7 July 2013.
Project initiated by Mick Douglas and Beth Weinstein.
A rising awareness of and interest in mobility. A road trip starting and finishing in Tucson, Arizona. Collaborative creative investigation in the space-times of American deserts. Engaging the performing body, the mobile social body, a body of mobile infrastructure, and relations to desert ecologies. Learning from land art. Performance presentations in process and en route, with a finale event in Tucson. Twelve people temporarily collected.
This practice-based performance research project aims to enable collaborative peer-to-peer conditions for a group of creative practitioners and researchers to extend their performative practices and generate new works and working relationships that engage with mobility. The Performance Studies International (PSi) conference is enfolded into the middle of the 3-week journey. For the conference, the project collaborators will present a daily morning praxis event in the grounds of the Stanford campus. The project is intended to inform practices for PSi Fluid States 2015 as a mobile and distributed event process.
PSi conference attendees and lingerers are invited to submit an expression of interest to collaborate. Travel will be via two vehicles, and overnight camping. Estimated on-ground costs to be shared (excluding PSi conference and accommodation costs) will be US$800, plus camp equipment hire if needed. Whilst preference will be given to collaborators wishing to collaborate in the full journey, we are accepting expressions of interest to participate in only the pre-PSi Tucson to Palo Alto passage (June 16 – 26), or the post-PSi Palo Alto to Tucson passage of the project (June 30 – July 7). Selection will be based on contribution to a collaborative and open process.
Expressions of interest due 5pm Friday 29 March 2013. For more info go to:

# # Note for walking artists: whilst the project is dependant upon traversing large tracts of land via vehicles, it is intended that a significant aspect of the creative research focus will be toward experience in landscape on foot.
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog?
