I represent the state. I am here to present to you the evidence of a crime. Together you will weigh this evidence. You will deliberate upon it. You will decide if it proves the defendant's guilt." "This man—" And here I point. You must always point, Rusty, I was told by John White. That was the day I started in the office. The sheriff took my fingerprints, the chief judge swore me in, and John White brought me up to watch the first jury trial I'd ever seen. Ned Halsey was making the opening statement for the state, and as he gestured across the courtroom, John, in his generous, avuncular way, with the humid scent of alcohol on his breath at ten in the morning, whispered my initial lesson. He was the chief deputy P.A. then, a hale Irishman with white hair wild as cornsilk. It was almost a dozen years ago, long before I had formed even the most secret ambition to hold John's job myself. If you don't have the courage to point, John White whispered, you can't expect them to have the courage to convict.

    Contemporary Performance Almanac 2013 Contemporary Performance Almanac 2013 I Contemporary Performance Almanac 2013 ISBN-10: 0615960731 ISBN-13: 978-0615960739 © Contemporary Performance 2014 Contemporary Performance 105 West 10th St. #2 New York, NY 10011 contemporaryperformance.com Cover Photo: CHOKRA performs Bond on Blonde selected by Caden Manson & Mx. Justin V Bond at MoMA P.S.1, New York on March 25, 2012. Photo by Loren Wohl II III Note From The Editors: Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Contemporary Performance Almanac. We have been wishing to make this book since the inception of the Network, but it wasn’t until recently that the Contemporary Performance Network reached such a critical mass that we realized the necessity for the project matched the resources to produce it. So often presenters do not have access to artists and works that haven’t traveled outside their city or country of origin, and artists do not have access to survey the work of peers that might be working in sympathetic modalities. Contemporary Performance sees a need to give artists, presenters, and others in the field an opportunity to start new working relationships. We hope that this Almanac — as an extension of the Network — can meet that need, and to aid discovery, spark curiosity, and facilitate exchange. We’re excited to see the breadth of disciplines practiced by the participants and the sheer geographical scope of their nationalities spanning 47 countries. Inside the pages of the Almanac are the artworks described by the artists in their own words: eloquent, challenging, provocative and urgent. Enjoy. -Caden Manson and Jemma Nelson Participate in the next Contemporary Performance Almanac 2014 by submitting your work online at http://almanac14.contemporaryperformance.com IV V About Contemporary Performance Network: The Contemporary Performance Network is a social network and community organizing platform providing artists, presenters, scholars and festivals a space to meet, share work, and collaborate.
