Week 2-First Session March 24, 2009
Public Space – Urban Scale
This will be a group assignment. Working in groups of 4 you will find a specific spot that allow the observer to look from distance. While looking for this new situation (temporal-spatial) the group has to think in the point of view of the observer. Decisions have to be made considering the scale of the actions and the spot from where the audience will observe the event.
The group will prepare a short presentation of the spot founded. The presentation also includes the justification of the place from where the audience will observe the event. Think in the kind of material (drawings, papers, models) that can help you as a tool to explain your choice and also make a draft over the kind of experience you are looking for the observer.
Key issues
Scale and distance. relation of urban space and physicality related to bigger theatrical spaces. Think about what gets noticed as a meaningful move or a gesture looked from certain distance. What kind of performative strategies suguest your location but also from a distant point view.

Week 1-Fourth Session March 19, 2009-Urban Intervenions/Physical Interventions
Urban Intervention – Physical Intervention
Location work...
Intervention...
Think about how to frame the situation so that the audience experiences the space differently than first time. What can of physicality suggest the location you found?
Key issues:
The notion that spaces are subject to change - a physical intervention can do that-. Identification of tools, choreographic strategies for change the perception of space. Framing of a situation for audience.
Mapping...
From the outset, maps have surveyed and inscribed territories in order to take possession of them, to occupy and colonize them...Adriano

Week 1-Third Session March 18, 2009- Recall and Mapping
Recall and Mapping
Revisit the experience you had at and with your “location”. Recall.
Use and adapt for this “recall” a shared technique of performance and architecture: Mapping.
Mapping is a way of determination of the space in terms of size and visual-acoustic-haptic parameters, but also in terms of approach, from where and how do I/YOU experience the situation. Mapping is some kind of visualization, but in opposition to an architectural scale drawing it leans more towards the selective, towards what is subjectively important. In that sense it relates more to cartography

Week 1-Second Session March 17, 2009-Found Spaces-Urban Encounters
Observation...What kind of spaces do attract me?
Key issues: What is the relation of body and space, a broader field that had been explored widely by choreographers and architects likewise. Recently, there is also a range of collaborative work concerned with stage design and performance.
Focus for the session: the stage of urban space, “staging observation”, urban space as the arena for the spectator, Urban space as shared space. An exercise in observation -consciously and manipulative. Walking through the city with open eyes and allowing a different view (point), talking serious once own intuition and fascination with particular spaces and situations. Found Spaces.
Spaces founded...
Week 1-First Session March 16, 2009 - Blindfolded eye...
Experiencing being blind for a couple of hours...
Experiencing space without any visual information
The blindfolded eye "a person is blind to the extent that he must devise alternative techniques to do efficiently those things he/she would do with sight if he/she had normal vision".
Reflection after:
How you map the space even not being able to see it?
How you described the experience?
How you describe the space visited and based on what?
How experiencing the space being blind can generate sensitivity toward the physical space
Perception of time
