An Infusion of the Evening Air
Performance score
by Mark Boyle (1965)
1. Prepare a wide range of activities with maximum participation incentive.
2. Light them with two or three (i.e. not enough [1]) spotlights on stands with wheels, so that the audience can control them.
3. When the audience start to arrive hold them in a screened off area until they have all gathered.
4. Announce that you're not going to do any event that night and if they want an event they'll have to do it for themselves.
5. Open screens or curtains.
Notes 1: The lighting is crucial to the success of the event. There should be a few strong spotlights and that's all. So that people can begin to do things in obscurity if they want to. Then as other members of the audience are controlling the spots they will suddenly find themselves spot-lit and this heightens their activity.
