Walking – experiencing space

Forwards backwards around

Slowly

With interruptions

Backwards in half circles

Sideways

To and fro

Get lost in the walking

Here there to the edges in lines / curves

Stepping high, low, heavy

Exaggerating rhythms

Come across a stillness

Listen to the rhythms, sounds momentum of the stepping

Allow patterns to develop

Wow - this was a truly glorious start to the project. very happy with the brave attempts, tests, trials, experiments, ad hoc thinking - and to see you all stretch the imagination so far - great.

This is what the design process (in any project, in fact) should be all about - the trial and error of process; methods and techniques that evolve from each step of discovery. It is impossible to make a good attempt at anything without trying out a range of techniques and methods - then, only then, I believe, can you start to comprehend the many options that this discovery gives. Only then, can you start to build on this, step by step, as each step given you the ideas for the next stage. The beauty is, with this project, that visually, many of you already hold important work. This is a good beginning. Let's go further, let's stay curious - and see where it takes you. Enjoy..

TASK 2 to follow shortly. In the meantime, you know what to do with the current work - as per presentations and feedback agreed on Thursday. Develop the work and link spatially where ever possible, although at this early stage it is still a very experimental process - body - movement - space - interaction -------

Remember you must keep a D I A R Y throughout this project. This is to include thoughts on process, how and why you do things.. later you will be able to use this as evidence to what you have learned, done, tried etc.. You will use the diary for your recording in writing and in sketch form. then, additionally, you will use the film, audio and other such equipment for time based recording (as has already started).

Use the facilities - borrow equipment - have some fun with it and get creating the choreographies...
