FLUXLIST: What is the Millennial Workbook?
The millenial workbook is simply a collection of new performance scripts. The old workbook can be seen, and used, if you're at all like me, as a new religion: http://www.nutscape.com/fluxus/homepage/fpw_indx.html Of course, simplicity of the score is crucial as they are to be performed as music; if you notice, the sparse nature of the instructions is a key piece of the beauty of these pieces. While people are welcome to write scripts for the book, I was hoping merely to "collect" scripts that are already existing. But who amm I to stop the party? If you get inspired by the old school workbook, send one in, wether to the list or to me directly. -e.

Re: FLUXLIST: What is the Millennial Workbook?
magichanical thinking performance cliche (1) (supposedly the ignition system of your car fault at middle of traffic & you don't know how to fix it) 1.- open the bonnet top panel of the car bodywork. 2.- keep it open & up (with two hands) while watching the engine with ignorant face (5 seconds). 3.- shut up the top panel with violence putting all your soul & thinking that this action will solve the ignition problem. (repeat action with abrupt rhytms & intervals to going inside car & trying to start the engine "normally" how many times you need; if the magichanical thinking performance cliche (1) "doesn't work" for a while, end the action --preferible before you loose the battery power--, call for help with a megaphone; print the score & give to people interested in what is wrong with you car) At 03:07 pm -0700 18/9/00, Eryk Salvaggio wrote: >The millenial workbook is simply a collection of new >performance scripts.
