Dancer on the Dart is a promo video for KITSCHCOCK, an Irish collaborative piece led my Anthony Keigher, a.k.a Xnthony. The show explores creating a self in a world with increasing anxieties that blur public and private identities.

He’s trying to get it shown at the Dublin Fringe Festival, and after watching the promo video you might be more inclined to help him out. It’s genuinely hilarious, and if any of you know the Dart Trains you’ll know how much balls the guy has to do what he does on there.

Mathematics is an amazing piece of spoken word from soon to be viral chick Hollie McNish. It deals with the controversial (?) subject of immigration in Britain. It’s written as slick and clever as her argument is well constructed. (by Hollie McNish)

IT’s Not All Black & White. A love letter from poets and writers to spoken word, in response to those who believe live performance is destroying creative writing. The video features some great friends of mine, personal and professional, as well as myself looking oddly chavvy.

Listen to some fantastic creative and non-creative responses.

“When because of the blood still flowing from my nose my mother holds my face under cold water until it turns to stone - my wet-nurse has meanwhile set to work on the pink checked dress - but even at other times, when my mother rips a bandage from my knee with an abrupt jerk, or combs my hair with a comb that gets stuck in it and then says to me: Really, your hair, or when she shows me how to pull a pair of thin stockings over my legs, pinching my leg along with the stockings, at such moments I’d like to see her fall down the stairs or out the window, see her accidentally stab herself while slicing bread. Whenever she says: It’s just going to hurt for a second, then it’ll feel better, or: I know it pinches a little, but you’re a big girl now. You have to suffer for beauty, she says. Beauty, beauty, a rat in your guts, your head in the cesspool, beauty. Every time my mother hurts me, just for a second, a tiny little bit, it won’t last long, be brave, I always want to see her head spinning away from me, reverberating with the good hard slap I’ve just given her, and at last she’ll be still.”

Other People’s Heart Ache Pt. 2 is the amazing studio album from soon to be indie pop sensation Bastille. If you’re an 80’s kid you’ll love listening to this, chock-filled with samples from a time gone past! Delightful!

The Love Club, by Lorde. The amazing (free) EP from New Zealander, of only about 16 years old (I think). I look forward to seeing Lorde break the music scene.

The Knife - Full Of Fire - Official video (by TheKnifeMusic) The Knife return with Full of Fire, whose video is a short film directed by Marit Östberg, which in true Knife style is bizarre, emotional and will surely herald new video trends to come in 2013.

Finalising some exciting work.
