IDOCs » "Night Fabric"- what was actually happening or
interlooping or undoing past events. Our first actual hybrid (something between a dance workshop, chill out zone, living installation, creative process, communal sleeping and everything else that was experienced during the night) event. It took place from the 16th to the 17th of May at Urhof20- Grünbach am Schneeberg, A.

First impulse - for a long time He wanted to play music for people who sleep.

Second impulse - We wanted to create a field of creative nourishment.

 

What nourishes you?

 

food

sleep

being amazed

sleep

being taken up with something

being with others

rest

sharing and creating a poetic field

dancing

writing

being in a condensed space with others yet without restraint

.....

 

What nourishes you?

 

So we started with arriving and we ended with arriving.

Inbetween there was / were

  • a physical warm up along the lines of shaking, grounding and connecting

  • an introduction into automatic writing and how to use text in space

  • an invitation into the open space inspired by the underscore (Nancy Stark Smith)

  • a set of rules like - no socializing in the space

- when you exit write a word you want to leave in the space and put it in a

box

- when you reenter pick one word and play with it if you like

  • objects to play with like a dance floor one could dance on write on sleep on...., strings in the space one could use for divers arrangements, a typewriter located prominently, loads of paper, costumes to play with and write on, strings to interloop or undo...

  • and of course sound, very specific kind of ambient music, voice, text

  • the space

 

So what was actually happening?

 

I remember a very condensed time and space, yet spacious and timeless. A commited group of people- commited to each other, commited to what they were doing, commited to the frame we offered.

No time out for the three of us. Highlights in terms of a poetic arrival in the here and now. An atmosphere ranging from being deeply internal to peacefully playing next to and with each other. Through a growing installation of words the individual process became visible in the space.

 

What do you imagine would happen to you if you were part of "Night Fabric"?
