As lateral means to a dramatic end, my early solo initiatives amnd, Whwymgb?, Pecu, and Opæan defined a sur­prisingly co­herent pro­ject, pro­viding material and direction for all subse­quent collab­oration. Primarily, I would lead Psychological Art Circus to create a body of theatrical work guided by the lives of three seers, Anna O., Olive Pixley, and in Illusions of Reference the Oracle, Pythia.

After Illusions, I began to uncover the conceptual frame­work towards a new circus from the life and art of Majorcan mystic Guillem Fanaler. The results of my sustained research—sonic, visual, and sys­tem­atised—are here presented on liveart.work as thumbnail sketches and form the basis for a series of hybrid lecture performances.
