Participants: 2 dancers, 3 musicians, 1 sound artist, 1 co-ordinator, 130 students.
- Warm up. All participants
- Explore space and movement in space on location.
Groups work in allocated spaces.- Groups continue to explore their spaces through movement, and drawing.
- Choreography and recording to be completed in draft by the end of the day.
- Feedback
The day started in a similar way to Monday, but the students had more confidence in
their ability to move effectively. With fewer staff, students took greater ownership
of their work, and were very involved, and committed to the project. Choreography
took priority over drawing with the absence of the visual artists, giving the students
more time to work in an area that was new to most of them. De-briefing with staff at
the end of the session was again necessary, and adjustments to the following day’s
schedule made where necessary.
Day 5-9
Students continue their own research. No structured workshops.
