Score / Notes
Start by coming to a neutral standing position with your feet under your hips and your arms by your sides. Look straight out in front of you and notice what you see. Let your eyes take in light, texture, colors, see things that are further away and things that are close. Slowly begin to move your eyes to the right without moving the rest of your head. Keep noticing what you see. When your eyes can’t go any further to the right let your body begin to follow behind your eyes as you make a very slow turn to the right. Try not to skip over anything, seeing things that are further away and things that are close, noticing light, texture and color. Notice what it feels like for your body to be following behind your eyes. Keep letting your eyes see as much as possible, try not to skip over anything. When you have made your way all the way around close your eyes and give them a rest. When you feel ready open your eyes and again see what you see in front of you. Then, slowly begin to move your eyes to the left and again let your body follow your eyes as you make a slow turn, this time to the left. Keep letting your eyes see as much as possible, try not to skip over anything. When you have made your way all the way around close your eyes and give them a rest.

posted by Hana van der Kolk, 03/13/09 This score was originally included as part of Interim Uses a performance/participatory event, which included four performers, two guides, and approximately 30 guests/participants, and took place in May 2007 in "the cornfields" (Los Angeles State Historic Park). Later it was exhibited as one of four sound pieces (instructions were given to participants on portable headphones) as part of Between People: Four Artists on Connecting, curated by Robby Herbst at David Patton Gallery in Los Angeles in August 2007.
