Arrival practice

Attunement to listening (5 mins)

Standing as a group – sounds of the space.

 

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 

SCORE 1: Re-meeting Pulls of Attraction

Taking a moment to revisit the route/map from Pulls of Attraction

A series of Loops

- Walking the route - follow the route (walking at any speed).

- Walking the route - reading silently in your inner voice at each point.

- Walking the route - Reading aloud

Take time to notice/listen to/for the others’ reading

Take time to notice resonances and differences (with the moments of writing and reading on the original site).

 

*When you have finished your reading, pause where you end, looking towards the centre and to the others.

*Remain still and silent until everyone has completed their reading.

* When everyone is stood still and silent, we slowly walk towards the location for the second score, assembling in a circle.

 

SCORE 2: READING MOVEMENTS + TRAJECTORIES

Reading of texts from movements and trajectories, sensemaking between voices, compilation of fragments and chance resonances.

In a circle facing inwards:

Part I: A circuit clockwise – each person reads one word/short phrase of their text, going around the circle.

Part II: Introduction of a second circuit.

Part III: Crossing the circle.

Part IV: Call of the emergent sense (allow for simultaneity and silences)

* When there is a cue/signal, slowly walk towards a place in the yard which corresponds to the location where you did the writing, Acousmatic. Sit for a moment in silence recollecting your experience of the original score/site.

 

SCORE 3: Acousmatic [Reading]

-Reading your text aloud from the Acousmatic score, repeating more than once if necessary.

-When there is a cue/signal, slowly walk towards a place in the yard, assembling as a condensed zig zag line (close together).

-Reading your text from the Acousmatic score (all at the same time).

-Take time to notice/listen to/for the others’ reading.

-Take time to notice resonances and differences (with the moments of writing and reading on the original site).
