Whose London Is it Anyway? A new theatre piece from Malachy Orozco

Hello, Here's a new piece I made. I hope you'll listen to it, sitting back in your favourite chair, with a drink nearby, wearing your best set of headphones - and your eyes, closed. Consider this an invitation to a private performance in the theatre of your mind. https://soundcloud.com/malachyorozco/the-man-with-no-castle Best, Malachy ABOUT: high-powered real estate developer is intentionally homeless. Written and performed by Malachy Orozco. Recorded on 23.1.2016, live at Camden People's Theatre, as part of "Whose London Is it Anyway?"

EXHIBITION CONCEPT: h y p e r l o c a l

EXHIBITION CONCEPT -Exploring becoming-animal/plant -exploring peripheral uk places/local/place Evening Standard rant...a nice place to open debate/counterpoint/centre/periphery Big cities are centres not just of political power but of finance, business, professional services, culture and fashion. They are where clever, enterprising people gather together, to be among other clever, enterprising people. They need a hinterland for dormitory suburbs, call centres and back-office services. They need the green belt and countryside for leisure and weekending. But they get their momentum from their financial potency and cultural electricity. london-is-where-the-action-is http://www.standard.co.uk/comment/simon-jenkins-sorry-archbishop--but- Option 1.

Looking Away/ Irit Rogoff http://collabarts.org/?p=6 Having become aware of the very mythic nature of our own critical interventions, it is the minute gatherings of refusal and disruption which are left to us to somehow live out the combined entities of participation and criticism. To make such a statement is to somehow be seemingly gripped by a Situationist ethos, by the echoes of stealthy street actions, remade topographies and inscriptions left behind on walls. How do we occupy the space of commanding attention in ways that is not the take over of street marches nor the romantic covert operations of the agents of ‘detournement’? Perhaps we could say that we simply do not, that we refuse that very notion of a spatial occupation in which our identity is made subjugate to a named commonality. That we live out Agamben’s ‘whatever’ in the vagaries of trivial conversations that ebb and flow, making and remaking the space of appearance as we speak of different things. Inside, distracted, acknowledging that our utterances come back to us in inverted form, conceding the common while refusing its identity – that’s us.

The book by Michael Symmons Roberts and Paul Farley, Edgelands: Journeys into England’s True Wilderness made visible an idea that, as Robert Macfarlane pointed out in his review, was already gaining currency in recent discussions of the contemporary border between country and the city.

For decades, social scientists have been using a modified version of Isaac Newton's Law of Gravitation to predict movement of people, information, and commodities between cities and even continents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_model_of_migration http://classweb.gmu.edu/sgillesp/Info/Gravity.htm http://geography.about.com/library/weekly/aa031601a.htm
