Performances for CoExist

I think that it makes sense that the performances take place on saturdays whilst the show is open at NewRED, I don't tend to work during the day on saturdays so I can commit to doing this each week, would this be okay for you too?

The dates would be;

Sat 20th, 27th April & Sat 4th, 11th & 18th May

11th May would coincide with the 24hr event you mentioned so I don't know if we want to do something specifically for this or not.

We have five performances that we need to prepare for. My personal feeling is that it would be interesting to have more than five objects displayed at the Arts Centre as it adds to the sense of potential/ambiguity that we want, if all of the objects are going to be used at some point it looses this a bit. I also think we have enough objects to achieve this.

Performances (not in any particular order)

1. Glitter trace - marking the route between the two sites by walking with a container of glitter. Do we both start with one each at separate sites and take different routes? Or does one of us start at the Art Centre whilst the other waits at NewRED to receive the container and take it back to the Arts Centre?
2. Shrink-wrap - finding various sites around the city we create barriers for the other to perform within. We could walk up and down the space produced between the two objects, push against the material or as soon as one barrier is installed by one of us the other takes it down, repeating the process for a set period.
3. Balloons - Starting at the two different sites we walk towards an agreed point to meet each other, we burst the others balloon and take the remains to either the site we came from or the one we didn't.
4. Megaphone - we script something for each other. One of us collects the megaphone from the Arts Centre, walking from there to NewRED this script is read out. Handing over the megaphone to the one at NewRED this process is repeated on the walk back to the Arts Centre.
5. Fabric - (this could be done for the 24hr event) the fabric has a series of holes in for people to fit their heads in. One of us picks it up from the Arts Centre and collects people with it along the way to NewRED, meets the other at NewRED and repeats the process. During the journey between the sites conversation between the artist and the public taking part can be facilitated and directed.

We could do all of these different performances or we could just do one and repeat it each week. Let me know what you think!
