Cloak of Longing - Dr Mikey Georgeson

author(s): Konfessor Kimey Peckpo
published in: Research Catalogue
The Cloak of Longing has been involved in conference keynote, public and university pastoral occasions. At the heart of my research practice is a desire to liberate capacities of expressivity via a processual use intuitive material vitality. This contingent radical empiricism regards the communication model's need for pre-given therefore-ness as potentially occluding of capacities to work with matter flow – a characteristic of a cosmos of nonhuman agency inside which a performative intra-relational understanding emerges.
Tracing Practices – questioning and circulating archives
(2023)
author(s): Per Roar, Camilla Graff Junior, Luisa Greenfield, Myna Trustram
published in: VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research
Our exposition comes out of a conversation and explorative research process about the performative potential of archives, both publicly and personally, shaped by four different artistic mediums and practices in film, performance art, choreography and essay writing. The shared medium has been through the use of text and online communication.
The research was developed through ongoing monthly meetings and notes that were taken since April 2019. From those meetings, we laid a structure where we each created our parts of what became the score for "Living and Lasting", which we first performed in Oslo and then in Berlin in 2022*. This score is the pivot point of our exposition.
Our working process includes considerable elements of risk and surprise by alternating between collaborative meetings and individual work. The first time we perform a new piece none of us know exactly what or how the others will present. Along with the audience, we experience portions of the text, movements, and media put together for the first time, without knowing whether the whole thing will coalesce, diverge, or fall apart.
(*) In Oslo at the 2022 Nordic Summer University (NSU) and in Berlin at the symposium “Who tells y/our story?” by the artistic research project MEMORYWORK (2021-2024).

Performative Paradigm for Businesses
Reconfiguring Strategy, Presence and Creative Leadership
This article introduces the Performative Paradigm as an innovative framework for business development, leadership and strategic positioning. Moving beyond traditional rational models, the performative approach integrates embodiment, narrative, and emotional architecture into the very core of professional structures.
Rather than separating personal presence from strategic decision-making, this paradigm understands the body, desire, and symbolic expression as essential tools for navigating uncertainty and generating sustainable innovation. Drawing from performance studies, psychoanalytic thinking, and affect theory, the article explores how performative logic can be applied to projects, teams, and leadership styles—especially within multidisciplinary or creative industries.
Far from being abstract, the paradigm proposes concrete methodologies and real cases where performative alignment has shifted business dynamics: from burnout to embodied clarity, from fragmentation to integrated vision. Aimed at entrepreneurs, consultants, and visionary leaders, this article opens a liminal path where doing and being converge.
