Performance art - About

The internet has a diverse population of users and is an extraordinary environment in which there is freedom to reach out, connect, discover and develop through shared writing and performance. This is the spark which became the essence of Cinnaminta - to go beyond simply placing your own work on the internet and waiting for comments by requesting others to interpret and perform your work; to use the opportunity to share and develop through the two-way experience.

Opening up your work for interpretation by others can be a powerful inspiration for development and a liberating voyage of discovery. Better than simple peer review, the reviewers are required to perform the work. You could obtain a unique insight into how your work is viewed by others - the perfect test bed for would be script writers.

Cinnaminta brings together the global network of people who would like their original work performed in a unique style and a special place and the people in those special places who can provide unique performances.

By taking part in the Cinnaminta reading out aloud service you will become an active part of a global expression of humanity and rediscover the joy of writing, reading out aloud and performance. You will be able to reach out, connect, share, and develop through two-way communication with other cultures around the world. You will be able to cross closed borders and cultural divides as a virtual traveller with minimal environmental impact.

We expect that people will find all sort of ways to use the Cinnaminta services, such as group readings, singing, dancing, speech synthesizers, mime, translations and plenty more that we have not thought of. The Cinnaminta team are looking forwards to seeing how Cinnaminta will develop. We hope that you will enjoy the experience but have to admit that we don't know quite where it will lead. The possibilities appear endless - how will you "leave no footprints, only vibrations"? Discover how you can use Cinnaminta to achieve this.

We would welcome any suggestions for ways in which we can improve the service to support your ideas for co-operative communication through original writing and shared performance.
