“Are you a religious group?” member of the public.
Three part score drawn on the wall in chalk.
Opening tunnel: participants enter blindfold, allowing sound/the song that is already in the air around them to manifest as they move together down its length.
Sound chamber: enter darkness of side room to work vocally.
Round gun placement pit: movement patterns working in a circular descent into the pit.
The score unfolded over an hour period and was exquisite to watch. The group moving in and out of ensemble and individual activity, sounding and moving, creating layers of image and story as members of the public passed through the space.
