Feature is an interdisciplinary undertaking operating between the practices of live event and cinema. The live event involved staging performances towards an alternative Western in the Cambridgeshire countryside which in turn involved well known artists and musicians alongside local performers and residents taking a range of roles within the film.The performance mixed historical and fictional tropes, drawing on the legacy of avant-garde theatre: Beckett, Brecht and Thomas Bernhard in particular. By employing artists and non-professional actors the aim was to further my research of notions of acting and improvisation, already explored in a number of performance works realised to date, into the realm of cinematic representation: exploring the translation of these live events to film.The editing process is what underpins the live event as it becomes pivotal to the fictionalisation or actuality of the live event and is what focuses the film in terms of how it finally looks/is viewed and contextualised. The editing process will explore the gap between live performance and cinematic representation and provide me with the means to question and explore how one might articulate this gap. The simple but overriding logic of the title of the project Feature explores the idea of duration that is pivotal to both live art and film and I am interested in how the operation of time between these two very different spheres might allow them to be aware of one another. The film editing process will allow me to address research questions that will be further carried through the editing of the book, the touring exhibition and the public events, and will reveal the ethical problems of the suppression of truth / how much the live event is able to manifest through the film or not. What choices will I make in the process of editing that will negate my intentions to reveal live event? The edit is the process of addressing the research questions based on the choices made. The ethical answers to the questions posed will be explored in the space that allows for the manipulation of truth, therefore the grounds for the edit become fundamental, revealing through the process some of the questions posed.Feature will result in a stand-alone film, a book and a touring exhibition with accompanying public events. By setting out parameters for the performance as a document to be filmed at a professional standard I intend the film to exist as a stand-alone work in its own right. For example, Cambridge Film Festival has requested screening the film. The touring exhibition, which will include various artefacts and documentation from the project so as to look at the idea of artistic process as continuous text, has three confirmed partners: Castlefield Gallery, Manchester; East Side Projects, Birmingham and Leeds Met Gallery (as part of Leeds Metropolitan University). I will also edit a publication which will continue the life of the project, providing an opportunity to further expand upon the editing process as a means for unpicking the process of translating the live event to film. In the spirit of continuous text, I will be working with author Sebastian Roach and three artists who played roles within the film and will give different perspectives and readings. In this way I hope to present a rigorous and critical inquiry through every aspect of the performance and filmmaking process, which builds on my research and use of various media for my ongoing examination of cultural media and translation, evidenced by a series of high-profile projects and outcomes. The book will be published by Bookworks who will oversee and fund production of the book, and designed by Abake, who I have worked with previously.A series of public events will accompany the tour continuing the editing of the project out into the public realm and further unpicking the editing process and research questions that sit at the heart of the project.

功能是现场活动和电影实践之间的跨学科事业。现场活动涉及在剑桥郡乡村进行替代西方的演出，反过来又涉及众所周知的艺术家和音乐家，以及当地表演者和居民在电影中扮演一系列角色。表演混合的历史和虚构的斜率，借鉴了前卫剧院的遗产：贝克特（Beckett），贝克特（Becht）和托马斯·伯纳德（Thomas Bernhard）。通过雇用艺术家和非专业参与者，目的是为了进一步研究表演和即兴创作的观念，已经在迄今为止实现的许多表演工作中探索，成为电影的代表领域：探索这些实时事件的翻译到电影中的翻译。编辑过程是在实时的实时事件的基础，即实时的事件，最终是事件的事件或实际上的事件，并在现场上进行了焦点，并且是事件的事件，并且是事件的事件，并且是事件的事件，并且是事件的事件。查看和背景化。编辑过程将探讨现场表演与电影表现之间的差距，并为我提供质疑和探索如何表达这一差距的方法。项目功能标题的简单但覆盖的逻辑探索了对现场艺术和电影至关重要的持续时间的想法，我对这两个截然不同的球体之间的时间运作如何使他们彼此意识到。电影编辑过程将使我能够解决通过本书的编辑，巡回展览和公共活动进一步提出的研究问题，并将揭示抑制真理的道德问题 /现场活动能够通过电影能够表现出多少。在编辑过程中，我将做出哪些选择，以否定我揭示现场活动的意图？编辑是根据所做的选择解决研究问题的过程。对提出问题的道德答案将在允许操纵真理的空间中探索，因此编辑的理由变得基本，通过过程揭示了一些提出的问题。Feature将导致独立电影，一本书，书籍和巡回展览与随附的公共活动。通过将表演的参数设置为要以专业标准拍摄的文档的参数，我打算将电影本身作为独立作品而存在。例如，剑桥电影节要求放映这部电影。巡回展览将包括该项目的各种手工艺品和文档，以将艺术过程的思想视为连续文本，有三个确认的合作伙伴：曼彻斯特的Castlefield Gallery；伯明翰和利兹东区项目（作为利兹大都会大学的一部分）。我还将编辑一份出版物，该出版物将延续该项目的寿命，为进一步扩展编辑过程提供机会，以此作为取消将现场活动转换为电影的过程的一种手段。本着文字的精神，我将与作家塞巴斯蒂安·罗奇（Sebastian Roach）和三位在电影中扮演角色的艺术家合作，并会提供不同的观点和读物。通过这种方式，我希望通过表演和电影制作过程的各个方面进行严格而批判性的询问，这是我的研究和使用各种媒体进行文化媒体和翻译的研究，这一点由一系列备受瞩目的项目和成果证明。这本书将由Bookworks出版，他们将监督和资助本书的制作，并由Abake设计，并由Abake设计，我以前曾与之合作过。一系列的公共活动将伴随着巡回演出，继续将项目编辑到公共领域中，并进一步取消剪辑过程，并研究了该项目的核心。
