Janaleen Wolfe and Katie West
“Scores”
Janaleen Wolfe on welcoming
If you notice someone enter, greet them with a whistle or a hum…
(Adaptation of a Pauline Oliveros meditation)
Katie West
Score for Fayen, from Katie
Unbundling
Hold bundle
Follow fabric ridges as they fold, crease, encase
Follow fabric ridges to find an opening
Loosen and roll
fabric and object
Hold fabric
Hold object
Hold them with care like family heirlooms
Keep in mind, fabric and object may be bundled again
Bundling
Place object upon fabric
Guide and nestle fabric, along and around the object
Fold, nestle and roll fabric and object together
Mind edges
Mind weight
Shift subtly, subtly secure
Keep in mind, this bundle may be unbundled again
