Read, slowly: Bookperformance [Performancebook] is a concept coined by Çiğdem Mirol in 2011. Written as a single word, it manifests the compossibility of book and performance as a reflection of life. It is embodied as co-creative texts and acts, including sonic and visual forms, where multi-sensory perception leads to enaction. This way, it fosters life’s spontaneous nature, connecting individual and societal insights. Rooted in love as life’s essence, it emphasizes “we are all one” through shared authority, diversity, and transparency. MyFace (2012 TR, 2024 EN), the first textual Bookperformance with four echoes composing a quartet, radically collapses categorisation imposed upon life’s expressions. Its opening scene is a letter: “Shall we reinvent love?”. Its threefold unfolding culminates in “All of Myself”, the spiral that also appears on this website, inviting into active participation. Its closing scene, "Bookperformance Manifest," publicly activates "holding space for life's unfolding authorship," while simultaneously marking the transition from Mirol's MA to PhD inquiry. Bookperformance has since manifested co-creatively across multiple languages. Mirol has concurrently created the syneasthetic alphabet of sonic bodies for Bookperformance. She paints/writes what is invisible yet present in the vibrational field of sound, music, aura, and resonance. Calibrated through the Well-Tempered Clavier in what Mirol calls “imperfect-circulation,” this alphabet fine-tunes all Bookperformance. She has live-painted Gymnopediés, Hallelujah, A Love Supreme, Liebesträume, Bolero, Time Lapse, and Life (in 1111 HZ). Below unfolds the corpus of Bookperformance through what Mirol calls "differentiation-without-separation": a single work of life through its various manifestations. Audio-visuals are on instagram, @bookperformance, with glimpses offered through the images above. Co-created works support planting trees as a reverence to nature. Works with children unfold freely through schools as a reverence to the future. Mirol's individually created works circulate within her authorship as an authentic resonance within the culture. Enjoy this wor-l-d.
