"There are four of you. There are four of you with head-sets on in a small room in Smith Hall at PSU. You are listening to Directions given over the headphones and you are doing them to the best of your ability. You are the audience. You are the performer. No one is watching except you and the other three people who are sharing this session with you. You are being videoed so that you can visualize your experience. This video is on a secret website that only you have access to. You are in control over who sees this document.
Expect secret notes and 168 walking steps and the sound the wind makes when moving through the trees from the third floor balcony off the ballroom. Expect and experience unlike any you've had before, but do not expect it to be difficult. Demand an experience unlike any you've ever had before"
Created by Tahni Holt, with musician Thomas Thorson, lighting designer Jess Bollaert and videographer Dicky Dahl. Room M114 Smith Hall.
Reservations required for 1-4 people in half hour cycles 3PM-7:30 Friday; 5PM-9:30 Saturday and Sunday. Make them at hello ..at.. tahniholt.com or 503-708-5801 Free
