Tempelhof Airfield of Vision: a game of Musical Views
Site: Flughafen Tempelhoff
Supplies: water & maybe some food for a shared snack

Groups of 4+ or the whole class if we can swing it

Meet in an open area of the park. Spend a few minutes orienting ourselves and each other to our surroundings by pointing out the directions, familiar landmarks, neighborhoods, the directions of our host families, the sun, the moon even, anything.

We will mark enough positions on the ground for everyone present. Four positions will turn toward each quarterly direction (north, east, south, west) and away from the group, the other positions will have variations of our class community involved in the field of vision.

Each of us takes a short turn trying out each perspective trying to pay attention to the shifts in thinking, mood, senses, judgments, needs, comfort, confusion, interest, anything again. I’ll keep time. The exercises ends after sitting with your original viewpoint for the second time.
