Performance Anxiety - WEEK 6 FINAL SUMMARY

Week 6 - Final Summary

THANK YOU SO MUCH to those who contributed to this workshop experiment over the past six weeks. Your responses have been thoughtful & very considerate of the experiment presented - they have been both creative & intelligent - also unique to each individual.
I think that possibly, the format of working in isolation from each other might contribute towards the uniqueness of each individual response. This may not happen the same way in a “real time/space” situation where peer influence on a process is inevitable, at least to a certain extent. (Although this kind of synergy encourages a kind of group offering that would not occur without the combined force of energies.) So it’s interesting to note & appreciate the differences - as this project has included both.

Gwen, thank you for pursuing further the experiments that interested you & bringing them into fuller fruition. I have very much enjoyed witnessing the evolution of combining ideas of installation & camouflage into your own beautiful melding with flora & hope you run with this even further.
I also appreciated your pictorial breakdown of the “Joint Spirals” exercise - it is reminiscent of Muybridge in its representation of sequence of motion in the body - the comparison with the windmills takes that idea to a different level (perhaps another possible future project? comparing in pictorial breakdown similar sequences of motion in both living & inorganic entities.)
And the “Finding The Essence” experiment result was … well - a breath of fresh air!

If anyone has further experiment results they still really want to post - then by all means, please do. However, they may not end up being part of my final project presentation - as I need to get that wrapped up within the next few days……….. 

I would also LOVE to hear any comments, feedback, ideas & suggestions you have for taking this pedagogy further.
And please let me know what you feel you have learned through participating in this process.

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE EXPERIMENT!
