1. Gregg Bordowitz is commissioned by If I Can’t Dance to undertake one of four Performance in Residence research projects as part of Edition V – Appropriation and Dedication (2013–2014).

      Artist and writer Gregg Bordowitz is the first artist-researcher to be invited as part of the Performance in Residence series. The project, titled Taking Language Lessons, will plot a personally and affectively invested trajectory across diverse communities of poets in North America. It seeks the ethical and political complexities along with the alliance potentials that may be encountered through acts of poetic voicing. The research issues from the key question: ‘how do we all take possession of, give voice to, own, the work of artists whose commitments are generated from very specific, self-avowed subject positions?’
