INSTRUCTIONS for WEEK 5
Research POD 5
Action PODS 9 & 10

Week 4 - Summary (April 17 - April 24)

Last Friday at Warren Wilson, Madalyn & Stephen experimented with Breath, discovering where the filling & emptying of air would lead them in motion & form. We also had fun with a little “Plosive Rap” - a video clip can be found below - posted by Madalyn. Then we ventured into the environment of the WWC campus landscape to explore ways of camouflaging & contrasting environmental elements, just with forms of the body alone - images posted below. We had a little game of “Creative Synesthesia” too.

Balaam - thank you for your Ying/Yang camouflage image - the beauty is in the simplicity - the Japan influence, I think.

RESEARCH POD 5

DURATION / ENDURANCE / PAIN

Pushing the boundaries of human tolerance has been a subject embraced by many performance artists. Research this topic to discover the most extreme examples you can find. Chris Burden & Marina Abramovic are two artists who have caught the public’s attention for death - defying acts.
