The ‘casting’ of characters in a film’s pre-production process is adapted into the ‘casting of stories’. As a director and screenwriter, Puangsoi is interested in the tone of voices as articulated through acts of storytelling, speechmaking, typing, performing, in movement, silence and stasis. Both the draft and the body act as the carrier and message. This ‘casting of stories’ works with the ‘drafts’ of a text in anticipation for something new; a new voice, a new energy. Instead of looking for actors, this process listens for the possibilities when the contents are read aloud by each new body that arrives and the different perspectives they bring. The results of this casting will be developed into the ‘drafts’ of other works in the future.
