Communications for this event was sent to 1 - 2 people. The performance had a focus on
experimenting with the Theater location. The ladies in this case were to also use the hair 
without any head and just the hair piece to late make something with it.  This is informing
the nature of black hair and head its importance so not to always touch the head of people.
Almost a form of resistance to express and respect the head and the hair of the black women
performing. New formats of enging with the braiding activity as well.

Instructions sent to Performers
This extension was actually what I had in my head from the previous 
perfomance it was a reused. The performers had to pick a colour and
start braiding in two polar opposite directions. and make the braid as long
as possible. The women are still interacting and talking about their social 
lives and engaging on deeper level.

There was no particular program but just action oriented output. 
Going in different areas on the Theater with a  long braid and 
connetcing to the place and the people in these areas. 

People sat and watched us and a child joined us with his father
 actually joined us. 

 


A little girl and her father joined us, and an audience behind the more the braid got longer there was a lot of curious spectators. There was no sound boost.

The people were not given information about what we were doing
even without information others asked. 

 

Dynamic movements around the Theater had an interesting influence amongst those watching us around. 

//5


Using the tree to perform around it as well almost like performing with
nature and accentuating its beauty. 

To show the timing it has a lot to do with the braids the outcome is really long braid extensions.

These are some short clips to show the different locations and actions occuring
at the Theater. 

 

The finished product in this case shows the hair timing.

There were people stopping and reacting to us or speaking to us briefly.
Others just passed but the idea of making a statement without the sound 
or program was key to this performance.
