It was very comfortable and soft. J wasn't in the space as usual as he had a lot of work to do, T was with me for a lot of the time and no one else came. There were no knotty times of thinking too much about what to "do". </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I listened to the sound and the birds outside for 6 hours and think only once did my mind wander very briefly. T thought my movement was more fluid than he had seen. There was a little "play" with him as he walked around the space on a couple of occasions. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">During one on my own time I found myself moving in a very ballet way - lots of arm and sternum - that rather a Qigong way, it is a feeling that comes when doing some ballet but perhaps more people might understand the Qigong similarity!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Contentment was a feeling that came to me afterwards, and had a really good night's sleep. So a fulfilling, regenerative time. I've often thought I might find it difficult being on my own for a lot of the time and not being disciplined enough or something, but it wasn't the case. Perhaps not having done it since 2019 it was useful to not have other people. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGmXfR7ARw_n1koH6jQ9cRmdxZOlB3gqoUvK-ROEhpcMsdVNRjvkGWok4pc47snzXlARVQfuM4nxxWyyv1euIqNAbt8eNKb04ujAD82xOK_EJtXZhrn3Uj0tNl-GOCfViWvWHL8S7CkXxev1fhf1xLwtuCKILEf3x4_XhCg5tNtkUm-mToTgF7Jc/s1700/20220522_1607%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="1700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqGmXfR7ARw_n1koH6jQ9cRmdxZOlB3gqoUvK-ROEhpcMsdVNRjvkGWok4pc47snzXlARVQfuM4nxxWyyv1euIqNAbt8eNKb04ujAD82xOK_EJtXZhrn3Uj0tNl-GOCfViWvWHL8S7CkXxev1fhf1xLwtuCKILEf3x4_XhCg5tNtkUm-mToTgF7Jc/s320/20220522_1607%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0-Kv3rCPntUY8Gn_Qrjx9nl4HYg-74K_nyHKJNlP787Sc7eGGR8v0qnfRmPGczxLKTjoMeradGh7CqGnJKQ4eHf61LKCvGjzwwxvWeKWde-j-V8GWuCD_6WrE2P6PrvMb34USQarLGWamTPvkomRvH9EBpXzO53tymPh8y7VmvWQv9aLoB9CdHc/s2300/20220522_1612%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1295" data-original-width="2300" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0-Kv3rCPntUY8Gn_Qrjx9nl4HYg-74K_nyHKJNlP787Sc7eGGR8v0qnfRmPGczxLKTjoMeradGh7CqGnJKQ4eHf61LKCvGjzwwxvWeKWde-j-V8GWuCD_6WrE2P6PrvMb34USQarLGWamTPvkomRvH9EBpXzO53tymPh8y7VmvWQv9aLoB9CdHc/s320/20220522_1612%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCuTlRpUG1rqDHpifnK96z3gE-vaR1Qm5u4W1k8WL6JsZ499Dvv6mJYoYx_WZS-yiuy44eYCuoJOebmbzWIcujtaqGuL_4H0Jt5BP0_m00MlxmWJpQtN96rUAUiU_vHTSA36Bll9YKR63YV-GldEIWe5Oubw_-CCYoDvwLWFYLjxF5ca5hcE_M8ac/s2300/20220522_1614%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1295" data-original-width="2300" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCuTlRpUG1rqDHpifnK96z3gE-vaR1Qm5u4W1k8WL6JsZ499Dvv6mJYoYx_WZS-yiuy44eYCuoJOebmbzWIcujtaqGuL_4H0Jt5BP0_m00MlxmWJpQtN96rUAUiU_vHTSA36Bll9YKR63YV-GldEIWe5Oubw_-CCYoDvwLWFYLjxF5ca5hcE_M8ac/s320/20220522_1614%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbf6lDGuyA4vHnNwIwaJueUQ3S13D9rfT43Qv89-mDhG75i7Jj3wTh-UuI-ZhXPEESyTu5frU26YWvzGcvR4FreQfIFpbTmzbLX0LL3RfYZbfC2QAiwDeoObatdZeCf6Na1ce5aPQ-x9mP95VpVVe1s4FuIMsbHWX52gGknyXq-XbDcFo9Kp0hbRU/s2300/20220522_1618%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1295" data-original-width="2300" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbf6lDGuyA4vHnNwIwaJueUQ3S13D9rfT43Qv89-mDhG75i7Jj3wTh-UuI-ZhXPEESyTu5frU26YWvzGcvR4FreQfIFpbTmzbLX0LL3RfYZbfC2QAiwDeoObatdZeCf6Na1ce5aPQ-x9mP95VpVVe1s4FuIMsbHWX52gGknyXq-XbDcFo9Kp0hbRU/s320/20220522_1618%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOArkh2ICBNhUSjZ-lZ22ba4PAZbCmvmnb8o568qzczJmnb1-0fxy8EMuQXEepd8MjSAXdjuy2o1f7TnL-KUEjU7GvWeQ6KFDEbaiwX44p-hjZ-VFaCSU-_fTPwV2uVOt_pjskUTv_wnBhZCzzx89Lr1MOjypx3FMHSwLyCmhtCpPG5o0aWhNWFJs/s2300/20220522_1619%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1294" data-original-width="2300" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOArkh2ICBNhUSjZ-lZ22ba4PAZbCmvmnb8o568qzczJmnb1-0fxy8EMuQXEepd8MjSAXdjuy2o1f7TnL-KUEjU7GvWeQ6KFDEbaiwX44p-hjZ-VFaCSU-_fTPwV2uVOt_pjskUTv_wnBhZCzzx89Lr1MOjypx3FMHSwLyCmhtCpPG5o0aWhNWFJs/s320/20220522_1619%20small%20world%20UHH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span><p></p>Flo Fflachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00898824799522652609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697675223764899856.post-20571304124896212672022-05-15T21:07:00.000+01:002022-05-15T21:07:23.090+01:00untitled holy hiatus 14 ~ 22.05.2022<p> This year year will be by invitation so not open to the public. </p><p>Last year UHH 13 was recorded - and only Jake was there.

I am pondering the possibility if Small World is able to accommodate holding it on either the day in July with same day length, or the day with the same sunset time.<br />Or maybe mark it somehow on the day - perhaps online sharing every hour...</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">It's
interesting to see how the performative nature has changed since the first
time: it has unfolded into a ritual, a participatory event. No longer are there
2 performers exploring<span style="color: #cc0000;">*</span>, but, perhaps, a community created for those 6 hours.
And the song, with nothing new added since 2012<span style="color: #cc0000;">*</span>, has embedded into the sound
of the space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">Then
thinking of the different ways of moving for me - the phrase of movement and

a song sung. Although it is set it changes and different parts become

last live vocals were in 2012 as she was unable to be there in 2013 as she had
recently given birth. And 2014 was her last UHH: she was unable to sing, but
her listening and presence were as strong as ever. She spent the last hour or
so downstairs with me. At the end we knew we’d done it – we’ve achieved the
thing we sought. By then people were coming to meditate or pray, to just be in
the space, not to watch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">In
2015 I invited people who used movement as prayer or contemplation to move in
the space. Regardless of whether they respond to me in any way, it supports me
and has enabled me to continue. I noticed that many of those who were there in
stillness had bare feet and were lying down! In 2015 I found myself moving with
two people, and last year there was playful interaction with one of those
movers – at a moment that I could have crumpled, a moment where I wondered if I
could move at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This six-hour, performative event explores how liminal space is created,
experienced and shared, using repetitions of a phrase of movement and a 13th
century song developed by Lou Laurens. Untitled 12 will use 11 years of layered
recordings giving a unique soundscape. Come to observe, to be present within
the space created. Use the space for mediation, prayer, contemplation. People
who use movement as contemplation or prayer may wish to move rather than
sit.<br />
<br />
We are tentatively continuing as we have done: Lou’s experiment with sound and
space continues. There are distortions, curious new sounds and feedback, but
being in the space and listening fully – to the space and to the self - the
strangeness does not shock.<br />

has moved from an experiment within an art context to its own thing, a space
for acts of devotion. It could never be a performance, it had to be “real” due
to the length of time. Now it is something I offer myself – 6 hours that I
would not spend without a public commitment in contemplation/prayer/devotion
and open up to people who would like to participate. Jake and I continue Lou’s
experiment of sound folded over and over even with no new voice added. This is
probably one of the most curious things about the event!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Untitled has
moved from an experiment within an art context to its own thing, a space for
acts of devotion. It could never be a performance, it had to be “real” due to
the length of time. Now it is something I offer myself – 6 hours that I would
not spend without a public commitment in contemplation/prayer/devotion and open
up to people who would like to participate. Jake and I continue Lou’s
experiment of sound folded over and over even with no new voice added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This
annual, six hour, performative event explores how liminal space is
created, experienced and shared, using repetitions of a phrase of
movement and a 13th century song. Originally an art collaboration
between movement practitioner <strong>Maura Hazelden</strong> and singer/ sonic artist <strong id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429301048035_34215">Lou Laurens</strong>, the event has grown into a devotional act.<br />
<br />
Lou
died in September 2014. Using 7 years of time layered recordings, Maura
proceeds with Jacob Whittaker’s encouragement and is adding to the
evolving soundscape by recording this year’s acoustics. You are invited
to be in the space for meditation, prayer, contemplation, or just to
want to be present. People who use movement as contemplation or prayer
may wish to move rather than sit.<br />
<br />
Mae’r digwyddiad perfformiol
blynyddol hwn, sy’n para chwech awr, yn archwilio sut mae gofod
trothwyol yn cael ei greu, ei brofi a’i rannu, trwy ail-adrodd un cymal o
symudiad corfforol ynghyd â chân o’r 13eg ganrif. Yn wreiddiol, roedd
hwn yn ddigwyddiad celfyddydol cydweithredol rhwng <strong>Maura Hazelden</strong>, ymarferydd symud, a’r canwr/artist sain <strong>Lou Laurens</strong>. Bellach, tyfodd i fod yn weithred ddefosiynol.<br />
<br />
Bu
farw Lou ym Medi 2014. Gyda chefnogaeth Jacob Whittaker, mae Maura wedi
bwrw ati gyda di-deitl 8 gan ddefnyddio 7 mlynedd o recordiadau mewn
haenau amser. Mae’n ychwanegu at esblygiad y tir seiniol hwn trwy
recordio acwsteg eleni. Mae yna wahoddiad i chi gamu mewn i’r gofod ar
gyfer myfyrio, gweddio, meddylu, neu i fod yn bresennol yn yr eiliad.
Efallai y byddai’n well gan bobl sy’n arfer defnyddio symud fel dull o
fyfyrio neu weddio i wneud hynny, yn hytrach na eistedd.</div>

For anyone reaching this blog from afar, who does not know Lou and me, I have to tell the sad news that Lou died in September 2014. She can be seen at times in the face of Rupert, her son, who will be two years old by the time Untitled Holy Hiatus 8 arrives.<br />
Yes there will be an eighth event. I am not sure of the form it will take. But Jacob Whittaker has booked the venue.<br />
I will be talking with people to find a way through.<br />

Lou was not sure she would be able to stay for the duration, but she did.<br />
We were alone for the first half hour. This proved beneficial to re-establishing the event as two of us - Lou had been unable to be there in 2013.<br />
From then on in there was always someone in the room with us - right until the end. This has never happened before.<br />
Quiet support was given to me during a difficult hour. If I had left the room I thought I might never return.<br />

A quote from <a href="http://untitled-holyhiatus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/mid-may-update.html">last year</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Their physical ability to perform in the event is likely to be limited and changed. Both artists feel that this in itself raises interesting questions about performance and ritual, questions which were inevitable in mounting such an ambitious project, such as: are we participants in the event or performers? Are the audience participants in this ritual? When we celebrate our daily and annual rituals what remains the same and what changes, and how much are the changes the way we remember?</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> ‘Oh that was the Christmas that we had to…. because of such and such…’"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All are welcome to come and spend time in the space - as ever there will be a limit to how many people can be present at any one time, usually this causes no problem.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This annual, six hour, performative event explores how liminal space is created, experienced and shared, using repetitions of a phrase of movement and a 13th century song.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each event includes live vocal performance and playback of the previous year's recording; this process amplifies the acoustic response of the space, which slowly overwhelms the earlier recordings to form an extraordinary evolving soundscape.

</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mae pob un digwyddiad yn cynnwys perfformiad lleisiol byw a chwarae recordiad y flwyddyn flaenorol; mae’r broses yn chwyddo ymateb acwstig y gofod ac o dipyn i beth bydd yn goresgyn y recordiad blaenorol i ffurfio llun rhyfeddol mewn sain.

<span style="color: #444444;">Come
to observe, to be within the space created, or to use the space for
quiet meditation, for a contemplative or devotional act. You may stay
for any length of time. There are limits to how many people might be in
the space at any one time - you will find light refreshments in the
kitchen.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Holy Hiatus: untitled</i>
is an annual event created by artists Maura Hazelden and Lou Laurens and will
be showing on May 22<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>nd</sup>, from 4pm to 10.15, in Small World Theatre.
Maura was originally commissioned by Ruth Jones to make a work for ‘Holy
Hiatus: Ritual and Community in Public Art’, a symposium and series of
commissioned works, including work by Alastair McLennan and Simon Whitehead,
shown in Cardigan in 2008. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maura invited Lou to work with her on a piece which explored
repetition. In that first year, they had many discussions about the kind of
rituals we all engage in, ranging from quotidian activities such as making and
serving a meal, to events which mark the passing of the year, and religious
festivals. Maura and Lou both had an interest in how simple acts might become
devotional through intention and also how rituals develop over long periods of
time, when circumstances change how they are celebrated. They created a
durational event in Small World Theatre and have continued it as an annual
event, now independently of the commission. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Holy
Hiatus: untitled </i>is in its sixth year, each time having been different and
yet the same, always on the same date: May 22<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>nd</sup>.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This year there are particular challenges. Lou has recently
given birth to her first child and Maura has photosensitivity and difficulty
working bare foot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their physical
ability to perform in the event is likely to be limited and changed. Both
artists feel that this in itself raises interesting questions about performance
and ritual, questions which were inevitable in mounting such an ambitious
project, such as: are we participants in the event or performers? Are the
audience participants in this ritual? When we celebrate our daily and annual
rituals what remains the same and what changes, and how much are the changes the
way we remember?</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> ‘Oh that was the Christmas that we had
to…. because of such and such…’ </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although, or perhaps because, this is an intense and deeply
vulnerable time for both artists, the event promises to be a moving and wonderful
experience for attendees. The event will include performance, video projection
and an extraordinary evolving soundscape created by the process of recording
the playback of each previous year’s performance, so that the layers are
transformed by the acoustic response of the building itself. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is an accompanying exhibition at Small World Theatre,
open until the 24<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>th</sup> of May</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 24.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday May 22 | Dydd Mercher Mai 22<sup><o:p></o:p></sup></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">A commitment was made for this devotional performative event
to happen every year on May 22<sup>nd</sup> no matter what – therefore it has
to be accepted that there might be adjustments; there have been some, but
perhaps not noticeable. This year the “whats” will be obvious.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Maura is now very photosensitive, the building is very light
filled and the dance studio area particularly so in the early evening. Also she
is currently finding working in bare feet difficult...along with some other new
differences of body state.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lou is due to give
birth sometime in late April/early May, so similarly the way in which she
contributes to the event may be different from previous years. The process of
re-recording of the recording made last year will happen as usual, but, in
terms of adding to this evolving soundtrack through live vocal performance,
there may be a change. Lou is considering attending the event as a participant
rather than as a performer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">This is perhaps a
less dramatic shift than it seems: the extent to which they are performers or
participants in <i>untitled: holy hiatus</i>, and hence the extent to which
attendees are performers or participants, has been an ongoing discussion
between the artists.</span></span><br />
