I'm a multidisciplinary writer and artist from the Scottish Borders. My site-specific theatre plays Allotment and Thread have won Edinburgh Fringe Firsts and I've had several plays on BBC radio. I've written dramatised audio tours for visitor attractions in my area.
I was part of the arts-science collaboration Working the Tweed (Year of Natural Scotland) and have been artist in residence at MoKS Centre for Arts as Social Practice in Estonia.
I'm a linguist and Scots speaker interested in the intersection of writing and technology, placemaking and storytelling. I perform spoken word with my cello, and am keen to find ways to expand solo performance and amplify indigenous storytelling.
My background in another life is radio journalism in the UK and Switzerland.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
