Abstract
The title Living Is A Horizontal Fall was drawn from Jean Cocteau’s novel OPIUM: The Diary Of A Cure; a text P[R] used as source material for the performance, in parallel with the physical and theoretical investigations outlined below. OPIUM loosely describes Cocteau's journey from addiction to cure, touching along the way on the nature of creativity and the human need for certainty in an uncertain existence. The fragmented structure of the novel, and its deviation from conventional narrative, meant that it was ideally suited to become one of the multiple strands drawn out by P[R], in this performance process.
