'Come Together' by Alan Jefferies

Description of the project:

Art in action and body movement with Ta Chi and mindful walking

The Concept:

The concept is for me to perform the Yang Tai Chi form, as a dynamic public piece of art, a flowing series of movements in this context could be described as art in action. This will be a simple solo performance. This will enable the flexibility of moving to areas where there are the maximum amount of observers, predominantly the Café Area. I will wear a Red coloured suit shirt and tie, to catch the eye and draw attention. I will produce a leaflet to explain the process, with times of the performance for the day, and an invitation to the mindful walk to close the event at 4 o'clock. A mindful walk from the Arts Centre to the Bandstand in Aberystwyth will be made therefore making the connection between these two meeting places for the local community. People who attend will be invited to a Tai Chi and Qi Gong session. Drinks will be laid on to celebrate the “Takeover” event with plenty of time, conversations for all. The mindful Walk aspect evolved through workshops with Miranda and inspired the works of Hamish Fulton

The objective is to activate change and directly affect people’s lives.
