Hendrik's Story
Uferstudios, Berlin
17 August 2023
This one remains special for us. It is one of the first Story attempts that "worked", as well as one of the first stories by an external participant (who sent us a voice recording, available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o_CSQm5PkfgSgJuVnE3V2t03SNcKzG8c/view?usp=sharing ). This Story included some slight "cheating": in the performance, the dance begins instantaneously, while here we first broke down the stories into 3 signs and only then brought them together.
On a technical note, at this phase we (one can say) experimented with the impact of weed on the practice. The scoring of the Story practice can get rather rigorous and cognitive, and weed often helped to introduce a corporeal haze and spontaneity.
