summary: Writing an email is not dissimilar to writing a script. On Saturday, Varia hosts a livestream of scripts and scores written and performed based on a series of emails.
Writing an email is not dissimilar to writing a script. Wrapping a message in paratextual elements means to imagine how the reader on the receiving end will interpret it. Whether it shows enough enthusiasm!!! If a bit of softening is needed ;-) Or an apology to excuse the lack of immediacy, sorry about that. These elements determine the tone with which the email will be read in the person's mind.
*Angeliki Diakrousi*, *Cristina Cochior*, *Artemis Gryllaki*, *Christina Karagianni* and *Amy Pickles* prepared scores and scripts for one another based on a series of emails. One source is the Enron email archive, a historical dataset in the world of machine learning, that is still being used to this day consisting of messages exchanged by the employees of a corrupt American energy company. Another source is a collection of emails from hackerspaces' mailing lists, that were received in response to an open call for a feminist tech initiative.
