Melanie Jame is a co-founder, artist and performer with triage live art collective & the creative director of savage amusement.
triage create intimate and social live art events that allow strangers to encounter one another in disarming, playful and sometimes confronting ways. we're interested in awkward moments and enjoy hijacking existing social structures to bring people together.
we see live art as an opportunity for dialogue between people from all walks of life. our projects allow participants to think and speak about things that matter to them; the things they may not usually talk about. we also like to reveal the beauty in the ordinary and the everyday.
we enjoy experimenting socially and creatively in public and private spaces. we ask awkward questions and like to locate human warmth. our work tends to challenge and critique social niceties and habits. our work is theatrical, creates meetings between strangers and takes extensive liberties with time.
we think of art as good medicine.
Melanie Jame's interests include site-specific performance, live art, song, the articulate body, performance based research, video and theatre art.
Melanie Jame is lead artist and performer of triage's An Appointment with J Dark, a site-specific, one-to-one participatory performance event.
She has trained, and continues to train, in butoh, suzuki, the viewpoints, pulse, contact improvisation & voice.
Melanie Jame is a lover of words & pictures, sound & vision, taste, touch, smell.

A Dialogue with Julie Vulcan and Melanie Jame Walsh

I do not know whom they contacted but the following performance which might be of interest to you as much as I undertstand from your work is going take place in istanbul; unfortunatelly later than you leave but have a look at it in any case; I am also quite busy these days ubt the next time you are in town perhaps I can help with more info face-to-face! REMOTE CITIZEN IN ISTANBUL – OCTOBER THE 15TH, 2011
Instant Urban Remote Performance
To everybody who is interested in being part of a lively street-art-project and performance.
Summary:
Up to 55 participants are directed and synchronized via wireless intercom (in English language), moving from one place to the other in Istanbul . The guides and directors of the performance are Christian Kuntner, Astride Schlaefli and Martin Schick from Switzerland.
Their goal is to perceive the motion flow in public places, directly analyze it and use it in its spontaneous evaluation via performance elements. Through direct control of the actions, we influence the flow of normality, deflect it, bring it to a standstill, or speed it up. Our intervention is subtle; it gives the place a slight temporary stir that can be mysterious, eerie, or funny.
REMOTE CITIZEN uses controlled intervention in crowded places to intensify, break, or reduce to absurdity any predominant dynamics. In this way, reality and staging seamlessly blend into each other.
All information, related to this project as well as short documentation of the shows are presented on our website: http://www.remote-citizen.ch
In 2010, this performance successfully took place in 11 towns in. Following the successful performances in 11 towns of both Switzerland and Germany in 2010, the show is invited to perform in Istanbul, Yerevan, Minsk and Marseille in the autumn of 2011.cheers,

Thanks for posting a blog. I just edited it so that is has an excerpt from the interview and then a link that says read more. This kind of blog will drive more traffic to your offsite content. Usually when one only posts a link, there aren't many hits to your site. I hope this helps. I also featured it on here and facebook (coming up today)
