A Miracle
A programme text edition published to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 27 February 2009. Take one baby and a mother who's not sure if she's ready. Add a soldier returned from war and a grandmother holding the fort. Mix in a landscape of flatness and a pinch of violence in the countryside and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a miracle. A play about wanting a better life.
Imposter 22
We need to start at the start.Yes, yes, we do or the Neurotypicals will be confused.There was something off about the new guy. But now he's dead, and the sirens are fast approaching. Who to trust - what was it he told you that time on the pedalo?You need to get your story straight; because CCTV and number plates. Because everyone's perspective is different, and only certain perspectives count. You need an empty stage, a mic, a London bus. You need a captive audience, roller skates, and a man 25 to 45 who will do as he's told. Pressure's on. Engine's running.This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in September 2023.
The Shape of Culture
This book systematically examines prevailing cultural patterns in contemporary American society. Using information on several thousands of cultural organisations, including elite ones (such as opera and chamber music companies) and popular cultural ones (such as cinemas and live rock concerts), Professor Blau examines the geography of culture, the changing demands for culture, the interdependencies among cultural organisations of different kinds, the nature of labour markets for artists, and the effects of arts subsidies on nonprofit cultural establishments over a ten year period. One of the major conclusions of the book is that the social conditions that support elite and popular culture are increasingly similar over time.

This volume brings together their reflections.
Reminded by the Instruments
David Tudor is remembered today as an extraordinary pianist of post-war avant-garde music who worked closely with composers like John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen and as a founding figure of live-electronic music. His bold reinterpretation of Cage's Variations II and his idiosyncratic performances using homemade modular instruments inspired a whole generation of musicians. But his reticence, his unorthodox approaches, and the diversity of his creative output - which began with the organ and ended with visual art - have kept Tudor a puzzle. Reminded by the Instruments sets out to solve the puzzle of David Tudor by applying Tudor's own methods for approaching the materials of others to the v...
