negotiating power (n)

February 8, 2008

Last night’s performance seemed to become such a space for navigating energies and powers. It is indeed a political space. As simple as our walk is, it is enough of an extra activity brought into this space of potential that it can be felt as imposing. On the other hand, nobody was asked to accept it in that way, to sit still on their chairs, to not add what they wish to add. If we add something, do we add it in a sensitive or in a resisting manner. Do we use predictable codes (whistling, clapping) or do we become collectively creative, producing something new and other. If participants feel the difference between potential and passive arrival on chair as audience, isn’t the making-visible of that process exactly enough?
