The way Trevor imagines connection as occurring through points of contact, which he references repeatedly throughout the interview. “Points of contact complicate what things can be generated.” For Trevor, FRAP complicates improv in that “I think its just the different ways that information and meaning is being produced beyond just … acting, or just music, cause with the AUMI there are all these different sort of ways a slight movement, connected or not connected to what you are willfully improvising… can do something or create something else…"

"It creates a complex web of interaction – different points people are interfacing with each other, or text or sound…”

“Points of physical and emotional contact are important – its not a one way sort of thing.”

Trevor’s use of technology also provided him a point of entry to create other forms of meaning. This process created different forms of anxiety for him in terms of curating the Tumblr and navigating the language and politics of what was sent for the site. In the end, he decided to add everything people sent him, to represent voices and thoughts regardless of what made him feel comfortable. 

Trevor also talks about intimacy in relation to connection. “Intimacy is about sort of revealing something that is normally inaccessible or private in that sense… [and is] not always good,” and he talked briefly about forced intimacy.  

He references the potential erotic aspects of the performance, feelings that people might or might not be comfortable with, but that they were perhaps able to access because of the performance.

 

“Each of these points of contact is a point at which a certain form of intimacy is taking place.”
