      Abstract
      Party Season is about sex and speech and employs some of the conventions of the

      porn film. Apparently inconsequential 'filler' scenes and dialogue link the pay-off

      scenes of vividly depicted sex. Except that, in Party Season, this relationship is

      gradually reversed - the scenes of excessive behaviour becoming 'filler' scenes

      linking the pay-off moments, the latter often embedded in deliberately extended

      'unrealistic' dialogue. A key component of this as a piece of inquiry-based practice is

      the exploration of this altering balance and of how action and dialogue can function

      to produce such a reversal of conventionality. The intention with the accompanying

      essay is to sustain a progressive interweaving of reflective commentary and analytical

      vignettes. There is also an intended symmetry here - an 'excessive' essay (long,

      without conventional subheadings, breaks, etc.) will sit alongside the 'excessive'

      screenplay as its twin of sorts, a different style of invention. The essay is to speech

      what the screenplay is to sex.
