I am thinking at this point that the first part has to be carefully weaved into the city- maybe trying the physical things outdoors, after seeking for the spots that relate to the topic. I like to think about this displacement 'cause it builds on sensorial memory- of the city and of the body.
I am thinking about Boal's excercise on sensorial memory, which works with differentiation between physical description (through bodly movement) of a place and affective memories (how the body felt)
Apart from those listed here, I'd like to bring objects- maps and historic images printed in acetate threads of different texture
first day:
scale/bodies/hights
looking for sites that represent/present the extremes in scales of enveloping the body- again I am interested in the comparision between physical and sensorial perception and forming of a place.
each individual will choose 3 of the followings to look for:
the highest place
where you feel the smallest
the coldest
etc ( a list of a bunch of extremes is suggested)
once the spot is found observe ways how to brake, contrast that feeling- through sound/ body positioning.
at the end we walk together each one showing the group its chosen spots
this also creates a movement between individual/group.
what is the variety of bodies in this city?
bridges/borders/fences
this is about division, fragmentation, demarcating
I'd like to play with memory, past, projection-- bridges in terms of time
this is the day of landing site for me.
stand on a bridge
try to connect two points that are split apart
connecting through gestures
connecting through presence
separating through presence
reproducing the limits of zagreb in the scale of where we can reach (drawing with steps- or with a thread)
silences/waits/invisibilities
looking for blank spaces
non functional sites (small spots)
consider them as breathing of the city
the inflexion point
try to hide
the silence can be chaotic- or can be plain
work with transparent ballons
blowing, collecting air
- what fills up?
