Your Space Or Mine

WALK 8: follow

The eighth walk with Alisa Oleva explored what attracts us in the city, what path we will follow and where we will stop?

 

The outing explored the following questions: Go out into the street and follow a stranger. Where do you end up? Do you know this place? Follow a leaf as it is blown by the wind. Follow a line made by a plane in the sky. What attracts you in the city and what desire lines are you walking every day? Where will you be taken if you follow every third right turn? The group started together at The CarWash with some arrival exercises and then went out into the streets to follow patterns and sounds. They rolled a dice and let it determine where they turned and wrote their our own score for the city.

 

WALK: our series of free monthly urban art walks, hosted by performance and walking artist Alisa Oleva is part of our Your Space Or Mine project.

Make a map of how you got here today.

Tune in. Follow something with your eyes. Follow something with your ears. Follow something with your hand or other part of your body.

Walk with a partner in the city. Follow what they do and let them follow your actions.

Become a human camera.

Throw a dice. Walk as many steps as the number on the dice. Mark that spot on the floor with a piece of chalk. Repeat, mapping your randomised walk.

Each of us holds onto a bright long thread as I lead the group on a walk through the streets.

In pairs let your partner unwind the thread the way they wish – and start to slowly wind it back. Swap.
