Score / Notes
originally prepared for the Silver Lake Jubilee, May 21, 2011, as part of the subtle bodies series
http://plus1plus1plus.org/subtle-bodies-series/jubilee-derives
several of these dérives are collected from ways to walk.

collected here are a menu of dérives (aimless walks) you can take while enjoying the Silver Lake Jubilee today. each dérive can last as long as you want it to. we’d recommend sticking with one set of instructions for at least 10 minutes, and maybe for 30 or 40 minutes if you’re really into it! where does your dérive end up leading you? does the world make a different kind of sense after your walk?

if you’d care to reflect on your derive experiences, please email us at lailyeweidman@yahoo.com

. . .

In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.
