First impulse - for a long time He wanted to play music for people who sleep.

Second impulse - We wanted to create a field of creative nourishment.

What nourishes you?

So we started with arriving and we ended with arriving.

Inbetween there was / were

• a physical warm up along the lines of shaking, grounding and connecting

• an introduction into automatic writing and how to use text in space

• an invitation into the open space inspired by the underscore (Nancy Stark Smith)

• a set of rules like - no socializing in the space

- when you exit write a word you want to leave in the space and put it in a

box

- when you reenter pick one word and play with it if you like

• objects to play with like a dance floor one could dance on write on sleep on...., strings in the space one could use for divers arrangements, a typewriter located prominently, loads of paper, costumes to play with and write on, strings to interloop or undo...

• and of course sound, very specific kind of ambient music, voice, text

• the space

So what was actually happening?

I remember a very condensed time and space, yet spacious and timeless. A commited group of people- commited to each other, commited to what they were doing, commited to the frame we offered.

No time out for the three of us. Highlights in terms of a poetic arrival in the here and now. An atmosphere ranging from being deeply internal to peacefully playing next to and with each other. Through a growing installation of words the individual process became visible in the space.

What do you imagine would happen to you if you were part of "Night Fabric"?
