Silent drifting and wandering

Monday, June 21st, 2010

The first Fierce Interrobang takes place on 25th June at Warwick Arts Centre.I’ll be leading a 2 hour exercise on exploring the landscape through drifting and wandering in silence. Somewhat altered from the original, it’s provenance is a exercise led by members of Goat Island during one of their summer schools which I attended in Glasgow during the summer of 1998 that facilitated sensory research.The walk allows a simple score of exchanges of leading and following to take a group of people on a collective movement through a landscape. The silence combined with the act of following and not having necessarily having to make decisions seems to allow other senses to rearrange themselves and to come to other prominence. A diffusion of awareness, perhaps more pervasive and peripheral, allows for sound and texturescapes to inhabited and moved through and a collective self-organisation emerges through non verbal exchange.These are small opportunities to be in our everyday environments and to participate in them via slight alterities of orientation and mode by deploying collaborative performative exercises.
