who we are(n’t)

[posted by nick]

i only realised yesterday that i owed the tina organisers an email with bio’s and technical requirements for tina, etc. i had to send the email off today since it was the (second) deadline. consequently, i cobbled together a group biography for dkdc. i post it here to share, and also to gauge levels of (dis)satisfaction:

dkdc is a loosely formed group of social and creative friends who met, for the most part, through studying at the University of Technology, Sydney. dkdc grew out of the occasional performance nights held at UTS in 2005 & 2006, and tended naturally toward diversity, collaboration and experimentation. The majority of the group are trained as writers, who in varying ways and for varying reasons are interested in ways of writing that are open, social and collaborative rather than isolated and solitary. This openness aims to be as inclusive of other creative practices as possible, so as well as writers, the group includes a sound artist, a dancer, a designer, a filmmaker, a programmer and a musician.
