- or the ones we would like to receive or give to ourselves
TASK:
Create a response in images, collages, photos or videos of your gestures of support or/and words.

Bethlem Open School Remote
An online course and meeting space for us to collect, create and share resources to help us survive, and even thrive, in these unprecedented times.
Today's invitation is to explore the notion of Flow by following
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Follow a score
Follow a shape
Follow your inhale
Follow an arm in space
Follow the feet into a new direction in a familiar space
Follow the feet into a new direction in a freshly discovered space
Follow a leaf
Follow a map
Follow an exhale
Follow your heart
Follow a thought
Follow a sound
Follow and trust what comes next
Follow the words in a book, opened on a random page
Walk, jump, lean and get still
Run, jump, get still then lean
Follow what feels right
Give a gesture of care to yourself
Send a gesture of support to your colleague
Follow the beat of your favourite song
Follow someone else's movement
Follow your impulse
Follow the tracing of your hand
Follow a colour
Follow your voice
-------------------------------------------------------------
Share your discoveries of 'follow' and 'flow' by leaving a creative trace: photos, words, collages, sculptures, poems, videos and anything else that seems appropriate. You can also connect your 'gestures of support' by following them one after the other and create a sense of flow.

Being Mr X
filmaker/performer
What remains... Anatomy of an artist : Being Mr X
by Michaela Ross, Josip Lizatovic, Gilbert Ratcliff and Olga Masleinnikova
21-22 May 2016
Siobhan Davies Studios, London, UK
Presentation of the work of Mr X, an artist resident at the Bethlem Royal Hospital. His improvised structures document the endless process of adjustment which occurs as he recalibrates his relationship to the spaces of the institution. Mr X uses his own body to determine the scale of each work, using arm and leg measurements as basic units, operating within the constraints (visible and invisible) imposed on him by the space and staff. Documentation of the making process with Mr X will be on display throughout the building.
