A small step for bravery.

Ellie Stamp: Fun Finder, Adventure Maker, Performance Architect, { real life imaginary playground } creator, decides to be brave.

I can, and do, stand and talk in front of many, improvise in performance, laugh out loud when I find things funny (no matter where I am) and talk to strangers in the street. I have been known to rub people up the wrong way when voicing my opinion about, well pretty much anything but,

I am afraid of blogging. 

Afraid.

 Nervous.

 Apprehensive.

Afraid.

My thoughts explode in my mind. Multitudes of them at the same time, sparking off in all directions and moving faster than I can sometimes keep a track of. Making immersive and responsive performance compliments my brains way of thinking. Making 360 degree worlds is aided by my ability to think about many elements at the same time, but it is not so helpful when typing. 

I fear I communicate less clearly in the written form.
I am dyslexic. 
So, I fear that my bad grammar and spelling makes my writing in some way wrong or less valid.

This is my admission.

Through the performance I make with StampCollective, and as a solo performance artist, I am constantly inspired by the bravery and imagination of audience collaborators that I share my work with. 

I need to be brave. 

So...this is my blog.
I will use it to interrogate my performance practice, to share my thoughts about art and performance and be brave, honest and adventurous in the written form.
