The basic assumptions describe the background for such choreographic experiments. They can influence your explorations concretely or only loosely.

Welcome to the choreographic play-construction-kit: SCHRITTWEISE Choreographing Walking!

Here you will find ideas and suggestions with which you can develop and explore choreographic experiments within walking, with the perception, and with the place. You can adapt it to sites of your own choice and play alone or in groups.

The entire material you find here was collected during the development of the performance SCHRITTWEISE - Stadt Choreografieren under the artistic direction of Katja Münker together with the SCHRITTWEISE team, lab participants and test walkers. Following the performances from 29.09. - 02.10.2022 at the Lustgarten Berlin, it was made accessible in this play-construction-kit. At SCHRITTWEISE – Choreographing City you find the video documentation of the performance with the text of the audio-guide for the audience.

You can work with the material in different ways:

- You could try out the experiments, observe what you experience and what your questions are, and then compare it with what is collected here as questions and observations.

- You could link several experiments together and formulate longer scores. The experiments could come from one chapter, or they could be mixed from different chapters.

- You could link experiments with questions.

- Or you could derive your own scores from the lists of observations. 

- You could be inspired by the pictures, drawings or videos and formulate your own experiments and scores, as well as combinations and sequences.

- If you want to document your experience, your questions, and your scores, it is helpful to engage in documentation.

The experiments are divided into different chapters: with the body, with the place, with time, with the social, with perception and with documentation. Each chapter is organized in three categories: 

1. scores, tasks & experiments (hereafter simply experiments).

2. questions and 

3. observations. 

The chapter pages are all ordered and designed differently. You may need to take a little time to find your way around. Often the experiments are not formulated in complete sentences and are only a collection of key words.
