Vasiliki Riala performing ‘Humming’, July 2017.

The audience activated the performance by reading instructions based on awareness of the self, through a continuous movement of the body. While the audience had the option to choose various actions, the performers decided the duration and intensity of each action over the course of 24 hours. 

Aaa

Close your eyes
Inhale collectively
Release through the voice
Repeat, 10 times

Body weight

Form a line
First performer steps forward and lies down
Second performer steps forward and lies down on first performer  
Third performer steps forward and lies down on second performer
Breathe in and out collectively  

Collective clap

Close your eyes
Focus on each other
Clap collectively for 30 times
Finish together
When not reached start over again

Elevating

Tilt your head back
Open your mouth
Breathe deeply towards your arms
Inhale, lift your heels Exhale, put your heels down
End when the weight becomes unbearable
