about the performances
the outcome of each performance was different and very interesting.
in the first minutes we chatted a little bit and i ensured that each person had the right environment at home. a lot of participants were alone, but some people asked me to listen to the story with someone else, which created a deeper communal sense. one participant didn't have microphone, so we could only interact by chat. this was very strange because i had no immediate feedback, like sounds of movement, breathing or sighing.
in general participants were people that i never met before, but there were also some friends. from the people i never met before some further contact was established by email- either to know about the stories i read or to ask more about my work. one of this contacts lead to an invitation to participate in an artistic project.
