Week 2 Interactive Net Installation

Colour and Contour

Shaping, reshaping, changing the space using colour and sound; we projected abstract colour images using transparent coloured sheets which we could move and change and pre made slides.

Comments Today: 'It's like a computer graphic; 'It's the best installation so far'; 'Clouds, Sea, it could be anything'.

Week 1 of our Interactive Net Installation

Completely filling the room, the net describes and changes the space. Lights and music paint the surfaces that will move and change as we interact with it.

Look, watch, move through, linger under, stretch and shape.

Feedback from today - what was it like?
'A Sound Wave';  'A Mountain'; 'A Spiders Web'; 'A Tent'.

Ritual 13

Christmas!

Greens and Reds, Christmas Wreaths, Silvers and sparkles, Tinsel and Lights. 

We started the session today by making shapes on the floor with sequined tape. Our shapes caught the light beautifully. We used green and red fabric strips to create abstract wreaths and a red green space. Reflections from shiny silver bowls and mirrors added light shapes.
Of course we finished with a taste of Christmas; pud, pies, oranges and lemons. What a lovely smell too. Merry Christmas everyone!

Ritual 13

Offerings , Silver and Shrines.

Today we have been exploring rituals around offerings and food. We created our own special space using things that caught and reflected the light. We used different sounds to create an atmosphere. We then took our offerings into our special space.

Ritual 12

Rituals of water, light , circles and life.

Using the sounds and music from the Derwent Pulse Project we created flowing watery shapes with our bodies and white silks in red light. The red Pulse light spheres were introduced to carry, move with and pass between us with pulsating sound from Pulse. Swinging light spheres added a new element of circular and elliptical movement.

Ritual 10
Mandela : a spirital ritual representing the universe.

Today we have been exploring the Mandela ritual. We created a circle of hands and developed this into a circular ritual around a cone shaped structure. We then wove strips of coloured fabric and wool before relaxing in our new environment.

Ritual 9

 Journeys through light shadow and  play.

Today we have been  exploring patterns and shapes; finding repetition and change and what they mean to us. What would our own personal ritual look like?
