FLUXLIST: SPHERE OF INFLUENCE

[Cecil Touchon]

SPHERE OF INFLUENCE Go into the middle of a large, dense crowd with a stick of chalk (and a chalk holder if you have one) moving backwards begin drawing a line into a circle aprox 14 feet in diamiter asking people to move out of your way as you draw the circle. As you complete the circle ask people to exit the circle through the remaining opening before closing the circle. Draw the circle closed with you in it. Keep moving around the circle perfecting the shape of it and keeping people out. For added fun, if you have 3 or 4 friends willing to participate you can add some additional elements. You dress in a suit or smock, your friends as body gaurds. Have friends keep people out of the circle while you stand on the middle. With friends as 'bouncers' leave a small opening in circle as a door and sell tickets to the crowd to be inside the circle or give away tickets selectively. In combination with # 2, have a radio (or musician) and make a micro disco out of the circle for people to dance. Cecil Touchon, 2005 for DDD (day de dada)
