FINALISING WORKSHOP/PERFORMANCE IDEAS: PART 4 - Rules, Conditions, Guidelines, Framework, Structure

In order for this piece/performance/workshop to work, there must be certain rules, conditions and limitations within which to work. Additionally, these rules must be exact and vague simultaneously, in order for the workshop to work (everyone gets different results), should the workshop go ahead. The following rules are some initial ideas that can be applied to nearly all instruction sheets:

  • If there are number or letter sequences, follow them.
  • Directions of arrows must be taken literally.
  • If the amounts of pieces or objects are provided, you must draw the correct number of pieces/objects.
  • You must work in a linear format.
  • Where possible, abide by measurements.
  • The paper may be manipulated.
  • A symbolic key may be used.
  • Drawing to a correct scale or angle is not a requirement.
  • Work organically, respond naturally.
  • There should be a narrative and conversation between every mark you make.
