DRY RUN part 3: Scale Of Emergency
‘Scale of Emergency’ takes the format of a series of large target diagrams, on which LOW PROFILE, (in negotiation with the audience) attempt to map the severity, variety and scale of emergencies against one another.
This collection of emergencies (generated by the artists with help from a passing audience) ranges from personal scale, micro emergencies to larger, macro (national or global) emergencies.
As the artists and audience come to temporary agreements about where to place each emergency on the scale, each decision is hampered by the inherent failure of trying to categorise, shape or even ‘fix’ notions of emergency.
DRY RUN part 3: Scale Of Emergency
Instruction:
- Make a ‘target diagram’ by drawing a series of concentric circles onto a wall or a large piece of paper.
- Through discussion between yourselves and a passing audience, you must generate a collection of emergencies - writing them onto yellow post-it notes and sticking them by the side of the target diagram.
- Once you have spent sufficient time collecting emergencies and cannot think of anymore you must (in discussion with each other and a passing audience) begin to place your emergencies onto the target diagram.
- The centre of the diagram represents ‘the worst’ type of emergency. The further away from the centre a post-it note is placed, the ‘less bad’ the emergency.
