Leisa Shelton's project SCRIBE is designed as a live writing project within festival and event contexts in which artist Scribes capture the experience of members of the public to create the democratic document of the festival. It seeks to put into question hierarchies of power and enable diverse voices and experiences to be the document for artists, public and future researchers to engage with as a fuller and more layered resonant outcome of the live event.

Vaishnavi Suryaprakash and I were scribes for WHAT REMAINS, an event presented at Critical Path to celebrate the Keir Choreographic Award 2014-2024. The event also launched the book Competing Choreographies edited by Angela Conquet and Philipp Rothfield.
