ABSTRACT
I will not be discussing performance writing-at least not directly. Instead, through the exploration of related concepts, I will try to approach performance writing through a kind of indirect process of encirclement. This method perhaps reflects my position in Goat Island as a performer and a collaborator, and not specifically a writer. It also hopefully reflects in part the process of Goat Island —a process which values the considered response no more than and no less than the seemingly unrelated distraction or the simple mistake.
