A Free Instant Interdisciplinary Improvisation at a Parc in London.

Here are my notes as a cloud of words.

Again with a wonderers kind of  feeling of who is the Audience.

Performers in a Parc.

Group

9 women

3 men

Happy Birthday to Maggie -

came as a surprise,

so...breath in.

Ears                listing

Eyes                judgemental

Lost,

lost in composition.

Where is the audience?

Who is the audience?

Who is performing?

The children are

The dog,

running around and around and around

The boys,

with their football

Clapping

The boy with the football is clapping too

in my silence

in our clapping rhythm

contact

real contact

with a stranger

a boy

a boy playing football with his friends

clapping

playing with us

my ears

heard him

my eyes followed the sound

say him

and he me!

A dialogue of clapping

A little child on his bicycle

looking and biking towards us

I sing a Dutch song to him and he stops

watching the group

The song stops, he leaves on his bike.

For a short moment

he was a part of our performance.

Who is the audience?

Who are the performers?

Are the others of the group

aware of the other people in the Parc?

The men with the orange bag,

The men with the orange bag.

A little girl looking in the grass

for her ice-cream

She lost it.

She found it.

I did not found what I am looking for:

recognition?

Magic moments?

Inspiration?

Or are these questions and all these words just EGO and INDULGMENT?

I am the dog

running around and around and around

The Group

is not a group anymore

9 women

3 men

Somewhere in a Parc.

Paper, clips, fabric, pants, envelopes, notebooks, tape - we tested several analogue ways to record the research.   Some of it will be worn again, some will just be in a drawer, some was sent to Thomas Johannsen who was absent from the London iteration.   Some of this might just make it into www.instantcomposition.com
