Strange Loop is a new, immersive &amp; meditative experience from theatre makers, Jamie Wardrop and Sita Pieraccini, a cosmic collage inspired by the sights and sounds of Sanctuary&#x27;s living biome. Come walk with us, gather natural materials, explore using digital microscopes at our Tech Salon &amp; see your discoveries collaged into a unique, evening-time performance. The event consists of two parts:2:30pm - 4pm A walk around the site to gather materials.BREAK to explore other atworks on the site 6:30pm Gather again to investigate found materials in the Tech Salon followed by a live performance event at around 7:30/7:45pm.Participants should come prepared for a walk around the site, waterproofs etc. There will be a sheltered space at the Tech Salon if it is wet, 12 max participants. Suitable for families. Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and do not need a seperate booking. The event is not suitable for very young children.Please note: the tickets are for participation in the whole of Strange Loop so you will need to be at the Sanctuary site from 2.30pm until after dark. There will be a break between 4pm and 6.30pm for you to explore the other artworks.Background information on the event:&quot;Starting out at our Salon, we will set out on a walk and a listening exercise to create an alternative mapping of the landscape: a loop around the different ecologies of the site to gather natural materials – an opportunity to slow down and examine what is around us: seeds, grasses, flowers, whatever we uncover..these discoveries we will take back with us and become the focus for later exploration.Once having returned to the Salon, AV and sound equipment will be available for creation and play. Through the use of live stream digital microscopes and the improvisatory techniques of the sound artist and VJ, we invite you to join us in collaborative communion with the local environment. Under the lens of the microscopes we will experiment with how to reveal the hidden worlds of our samples and craft live compositions.By dusk we will be ready for our DIY jam and performance, retracing the journey we have made earlier in the day. Our small and delicate finds will become projected large in a stream of unfolding imagery with sound and vocal improvisation from Sita.On Sunday visitors are welcome to drop in and join us in the Salon to review and examine the finds from the previous day.Strange Loop is a response to the natural phenomenon where the whole world can be found in the microcosm and vice versa. One of the famous examples of the Strange Loop paradox is the chicken or the egg – which came first? Patterns in nature appear to repeat themselves at all levels. Through creative observation of the wonders of the micro world we begin to dissolve our preconceptions of our place in the world and surrender our view of being masters of it&quot;Strange Loop takes place at Sanctuary 2021:SPOOR. www.sanctuarylab.org
