Live Report 016 from "p(art)y Here and Now" participatory event in Breakthrough Dance Studio, Ennis, Clare.
Track 1: recorded from transition room with "quieter room" on Left and "noisier room" on Right
Track 2: recorded inside "quieter room"
Track 3: pop-song sound object (failed to signal the end of session)
Track 4: pre-recorded track originally intended as "time-keeper" to be diffused in transition room, however as it is rather dense it not being used and very sparse track was used instead.
These recordings are for archiving, study and learning purposes only, all participants are kept anonymous, unless you wish to be specifically credited (information will be added if appropriate and as needed).
Everything evolves constantly.

What exactly is p(art)y Here and Now?
The event is planned as a one hour live performance art event, during which time we will all perform in the same space, at the same time. We will all start at the same time and finish at the same time.
By 'perform' we mean that you are free to create or express yourself in any way you should choose. Sometimes it is easier to describe performance as an artistic intention. You are free to behave in an intentionally artistic creative way for the duration of the hour-long event.
There will be a lot of different ways that participants might choose to perform. Some of the artists participating will be making sound art, using equipment. Others may choose to bring props, or particular outfits to wear and to use as they perform. Others will be performing through movement and/or dance, or vocally. Others might choose to make an intentional action and work with that. If you have a specific performative intention you wish to carry out, that is fine. Also p(art)y is a great place to try out new creative ideas that might be gestating in your mind. Our goal is that we all work together in the same space for the hour duration, and see what entails. It's important to remember that p(art)y is a safe, inclusive space with no judgement, and all are welcome. You are also very welcome to attend in a spectator capacity, to watch and support.
