transitions christoph

1) Becoming sensationally aware of moving between zones. This could be achieved through the advice not to talk, sharpen the senses etc. From a walking practice tailored to sound I know that a quietness in walking with particular attention to sound can be an incredible “tuning-in” into the sonic layer of the environment.

2) Distraction and disorientation. I think these two practices could be very useful but require a very precise and active performative involvement on our behalf. We could for example give a set of rules, e.g. not to talk or announce a way to go somewhere and disrupt this announced plan. This could be loud talking or taking very quirky routes to get to the place.

3) Quirky routes with focus. This transitory practice would in a certain way generate already something I could imagine for a general action. A particular format of movement or a particular focus that people have to follow while we are in transition.

4) Blindfolded guidance. This would be also an action I am going to propose but would also work as transition. We group up in pairs (and I really also like Bianca’s proposition to work in pairs) and one is leading and the other one is being lead and is blindfolded.
