Ellies Task Day 9

Day 9

Ellie’s task

-everyone has to take a chair, seat in the circle, close eyes and create a group rhythm for 6 min
-repeat the action, but change the position, everyone faces to the wall and create the group rhythm for 6 min.
-form 4 small groups of people and create the rhythm for 6 min. (instruction added- you don’t have to play the chair all the time.)
- create a chain of people standing on the stairs and create a rhythm for 6 min.

The immediate response after the task;
-It was great to make choices. I found out I was doing my own thing while trying to listen all chain of people.
-The task was about sound, us in different spaces. Each changing of the space was bringing the idea to put upon each repetition another task.
-The gradation from 1st to 4th repetition was from quiet to more and more loud.

Ellie- the task wasn’t actually about the rhythm.

-Individual voice can be lost in big rythms.
-I found natural need to be in rhythmical connection with other people.
-Creation of sense of notion in group of people
-How predictable can I be,do I want to contribute or not?
-Who is a leader?
I couldn’t find sounds.
-I wasn’t interested to leaning to the rhythm of other people
-There wasn’t a lot of listening going on.
There was a point for me in last repetition wich was like manifestation…lie an animal….There no valuation of volume.
-People down below rebelled it and that was genuinely funny.


What do we think was Ellie’s Q “what if” ?
Let’s have 5 min to think about it and write down our versions of Ellie What if?.
….
(people reading one by one their versions;)
“ What if we can get intimate within a group, without a leader, doing an orchestra which plays the chairs?”
