Was the system clear for you, as an audience member? Did you understand how the performers interacted and moved around the space? Does it need to be more apparent/the interactions more defined and disciplined?

10 Things for the 36 Posts

1) A glass of milk every time you land on the post. A bucket is provided.

2) Swallow one paracetamol. Wash down with a sip of water.

3) Turn the radio on. Or off, it is already on. This will be tuned (or not) according to chance procedure.

4) You cannot leave your post until a 6 is rolled on the dice.

5) Lift a 10kg weight. First time you do it; lift 5 times. Second time: lift 10 times. Thus.

6) Go to the pile of change. Take one coin. Count it up and say how much is left. If there is nothing left, put a coin back. If you haven't got one, return to your base.

7) Pick up 52 cards.

8) Write a sentence. Automatic writing. Read out what has already been written.

9) Turn an egg timer upside down. Read as many poems as you can from the book in that short space of time.

10) Light all the birthday candles on the cake. Blow them out again. Make a wish. Once again, the number of candles on the cake is set by a predetermined chance procedure.
