The following materials were generated on 26th March 2010, and are all attempts to document that various elements of the Yorkshire RITE launch. Photographic imagery from the event can be found in the Event Gallery.

Drawing on Emma Cocker's  Re: Writing 1993-2009 as a point of departure, Re- is a collaborative reading where Rachel Lois Clapham and Emma Cocker repeat, rework, rewrite, reread and react, whilst responding to and relocating ideas generated from, through and in relation to RITE. The reading presses on two writers - and two writing practices- coming together, whilst focusing on the tension between the improvised and rehearsed, and on the play between the visible and invisible, or public and private states of not knowing within the performed act of writing.

Rachel Lois Clapham is Co-Director of Open Dialogues; a UK based collaboration that produces critical writing on and as performance. For more information please visit: www.opendialogues.com

Emma Cocker is a writer and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University. For more information please visit: http://not-yet-there.blogspot.com/
