Çiğdem y Mirol (BE/TR) has been developing Bookperformance as a worldview based on her artistic and literary expressions. As a writer, painter and performance artist, she brings the body and sound of a textual being (language) into play and expresses it through the body and sound of an actual being (human) through visual and musical dynamics. Her Bookperformance events follow the creation process of interfering with the readers/audience. Alongside her literary and artistic activities, Çiğdem is doing a PhD research in literary studies (arts & music & philosophy) at Gent University,  developing a practice-theory based on the orientations and the resonance of Bookperformance. She is also experienced in teaching/coaching, journalism, creative direction, translation, yoga meditation.
