Cartography of Associations: a mapping of family
An Interactive Performance
We would like to invite you, the audience member/viewer, to participate in our performance event through engaging in the following movement score. A score is a set of instructions which invite you to become part of the ‘performance’ experience in however you most feel comfortable. You can interpret the score however you wish, including mixing up the order, spending more time in one activity, less in another, however the moment moves you.
Audience/Viewer Score
Audience/Viewer Score
- Take a moment to take in the space through your senses. What are you seeing? Who are you seeing? What are you hearing? What are you smelling? What are you feeling/touching?
- What do you see the performers doing? How are they interacting with each other? How are they interacting with the space? How are they existing in time? What movement qualities do they seem to be embodying?
- What are the story tellers sharing in their personal stories? What seems familiar? What is new to you?
- As the performers begin to hang fabrics in the trees,journey to the Remembrance Table next to the Bench along the pathway, where you will find scraps of fabric and writing implements. Help yourself to one or more scraps of fabric, using the writing implements to share the names of family members (biological or chosen) who have been meaningful to your life.
- Take a pin and then journey to one of the strips of fabric hanging from the trees,and pin your remembrance to the strip of fabric.
