Laboratory # 2. 2013

Laboratory # 2

In 2012 Ahmarnya went away for a year to do Postgraduate Diploma in Performance Creation at The Victorian College of The Arts. In 2013 she returned to The Chaotic Order with a refined tool kit and whole lot of new ideas. The first half of year saw Allen Laverty, Ahmarnya and TCO begin to consolidate the various discoveries everyone had made during 2012. 

The second half of the year shifted focus as Ahmarnya and TCO began to directly apply their recent findings. During this time they conducted a series of provocations and experiments that would finally see TCO distill and articulate the various aesthetics, methods and techniques they had accumulated in their time together so far.

Silent walk provocation:  

The aim is to walk together as a group without speaking, any set destination or time limitation. In this way we must find other ways to communicate and explore our surrounding environment together.

Performance Mapping:  
Charting our silent walks through drawing and mark making we then develop elaborate scores/scripts from these maps to create live performances.

'road' is a scene we revisited from 'the waiting place' .

Rumpus Creative Development:

As part of Ahmarnya's time at the Victorian College of The Arts she began to create the performance work Rumpus (working title).  From 2013 - 2015 she is developing the work as part of her residency at Footscray Community Arts Centre. During this time there are FOUR STAGES of development where she invites various artists to talk, work and collaborate with her on specific areas of the project.   The Chaotic Order were invited to take part as guest artists in STAGE TWO, June 2013.
