More Waivers is the digital archive of a live peformance piece.
The work starts from the waiver. A piece of legal paperwork meant to manage risk and responsibility. In More Waivers, the waiver becomes an entrance to participation, and breathwork becomes a site of minor risk and heightened attention. The project asks: How close can you get to someone elses somatic state? What is learned through proximity?
This site collects the key components of the performance:
01 Waiver
02 Breath Score
03 Performance Script
04 Video
05 Photo
You’re welcome to read and watch, or to try to “do” the performance yourself. Here are some suggested ways in:
Read the text to yourself (03), and then use the written breath score (02) to experiment with different states of nervous system activation and relaxation.
Read out loud (03) section A1, play (03) starting at 00:05 timestamp, after the audio cue.
