.present ourselves through relations

There is a city in the south of Italy, where the water is really blue and you can actualy see the bottom.There is a city in the North, that is Venice, where you can't see the bottom. There is a city in the UK where the water can be transparent but ... ocean, you can see a different sound. There is a city in the NL (Rotterdam) where sometimes you can see something, sometimes you can... what you mostly see are reflections on the water rather than underneath.

.analysis: There were no human actors in this one, factual statements, connected by materiality (water) describing them in a factual way, rather than emotional. Because it comes from Emma's mouth, I can see what Emma is interested in, and when she navigates cities, what she focusses on. A perspective interest. Between the factual and observational, repetition of "there is a city", "you can see"... Paints the scene and introduces someone that is both speaking and drawing you to that city. Both making the city emerge and also introducting the observer of thoses different waters in those different cities. By layering we start to understand that this much be a observer travelling. Destiny doesn't seem to be in this one. No Teleology here or in previous... Bringing non inter-personal relationships, also happening here , the city and the water takes part in what makes an introduction.

emm and miri's notations

Start a rap battle and take turns. You're only allowed to say types of food/drinks you were not allowed to consume as a kid. Example: "Red Bull" - "Oreo cookies" - "Nutella" Chose a partner and an object. The item needs to be squeezed with the left hand of person 1 and the right hand of person 2. Take an existing song lyric and write it down. Try syncing the rhythm of writing with the rhythm of the song without listening to the actual song. Imagine you're a soccer coach and you need to scream over the field to give your team advice but you're not allowed to use language. Imitate the sound of your evening routine by scratching sounds on a table. Imagine you are Jeff Bezos. Start playing. Imagine you are Nelson Mandela. Start playing. Imagine you are Angela Merkel. Start playing. Imagine you're the owner of a café and your coffee machine just broke down. You try imitating the sounds of a coffee machine so the customers won't notice that the coffee machine broke. Think of an embarrassing thing that happened to you. Think about where exactly you feel that feeling of embarrassment in your body. Make sounds with these body parts only. 11. One goes underneath a table and puts their face on the surface. One goes on the top of a table. Both whisper to each other with their face on the surface. 12. Look at a scar you have. Try playing an instrument with that scar only. 13. Imagine you are the sun. Start playing. 14. Imagine the sounds you make while sleeping. Play them. 15. Try to play an instrument the way a giraffe would do it. 16. Scream "Fuck!" after every note you play. 17. Hum the sound of a commercial jingle you know but with your mouth open. 18. Calculate how many days it takes for your birthday. Take the nearest book you find, open page number [days until birthday] and the first noun you read will be your next instrument. 19. Eat a meal in the sun. 20. Think of a question. Look for the answer on wiki how. Follow the instructions. Only read words that start with the first letter of your mother's name. 21. Think of a rhythm. Don't play it. Neither move. 22. Stare at the sun without sunglasses. Describe the feeling in a calm and juicy way. 23. Imagine you are your alarm clock. Sing "We will rock you". 24. Take your shoe off and hold the opening of the shoe over your mouth. Start singing. 25. Go to a coffee machine. Order 2 coffees. Drink them in the sun. 26. Go into a big room. Make a sound. Go into a smaller room. Make a sound. Go into a smaller room. Make a sound. Go into a smaller room. Make a sound. Go into a smaller room. Make a sound. 27. Think of a melody. Ask someone on the left to think of a melody. Start singing the melodies simultaneously. 28. Say out loud something you would whisper. Whisper something you would say out loud. 29. Sit somewhere. Shuffle a deck of imaginary cards. Distribute them to the table and read the future. 30. Pick a song you like but it's not well known. Make another person listen to it. Make the other person sing the song without listening to the song again. 31. Sit on a chair. Fold your body and put your head upside down, in the middle of your knees. Try to look backwards (with your head towards the floor). Tell a story of your childhood. 32. Exchange your shoes with someone. Walk backwards.
