What a marvellous event! Absolutely splendid and fantastic! Yes, yes, that is true. The level of all artists in the Being-in-Motion-event was pretty high. Here is the link to the being-in-motion-event.

Most of us met at around 3 pm at 291 Gallery to check out the space and talk about what to do. Eirini had this wonderful idea about choosing one of us and start bully him or her. Bully means transforming the person's identity and isolate that person. Anyway, our performance started at 10 pm. We assembled within the washroom facilities of 291 Gallery leading to the main gallery room and started performing there. We then slowly left the washrooms and entered the main gallery. The light engineers or whoever provided us with the perfect audio background. Thanks a lot. Well, they did not know that. Good show. Really good show. Well, I actually can't really write down what all the performers were doing. If you want to know more about their individual and group performance then you need to contact the performers. Simply click onto the image on the left hand side. I don't really like to talk about myself but then again…. Why not? Well, I spent about 80% of the time, say about an hour, in the corridor connecting the gents, ladies and disabled toilets filling up little zip lock bags with water and arrange them on the floor. Besides this I was sticking my questions-in-Barclays-money-plastic-bags onto the wall. The rest of the time I tried to build a stage using masking tape in order to protect the performers and I also asked the performers to bully a particular person. We bullied and transformed Michael, Sophie and Owen.

OK, please contact the performers personally if you want to know about their stories. You can also have a look at The Washroom Projects Blogspot in order to find out a bit about the individual experiences.
