Donorcycle VOLUNTEERS!

The first performance is today, August 26 from 7pm - 8pm!
I need you to be in the dressing room no later than 6pm so we can get ready and chill before we perform.
The dressing room will be in The Event Loft, which is located at 50 Alabama St. SW.
  • Park in the parking deck on Martin Luther King dr. between Central and Pryor St . 
  • Take the elevator to level 3
  • go across the bridge 
  • go up the stairs to the top level
__________________________________________________________________________
Volunteers will be vip audience members.  You get to experience the performance first hand, and through the lens of body uncomfort, and scripted aesthetics.
Jon Ciliberto will be interacting with the audience by scanning them and wrapping them in caution tape.

WORKER ACTIONS
  • Workers will be following the instructions of the lead worker. 
  • You should be slow, somber, relaxed and muted. 
  • Keep your arms at your sides.
  • Provide a still backdrop for my actions
  • Try to stay in a line that is parallel to the audience [except during the circle and scatter commands].
  • Ignore the audience.
  • Focus on looking at me and each other, while paying attention to the compositions that fill your field of vision.
COMMAND WORDS
[spoken by the leader]
  • LINE = form a line that follows the leader so that you are providing a backdrop for me that is parallel to the audience.
  • CIRCLE = form a circle around me. This action happens when I need to communicate something to you.
  • SCATTER = walk 27 steps away, and then quickly return and form a CIRCLE around me.
  • CAUTION TAPE = hold onto caution tape.
WHERE
  • We will be roaming from the event loft on Upper Alabama St.
  • Go around the Marta station and Baskin Robbins.
  • And then down the big steps next to the fountains.
  • Workers will be walking down the steps in a parallel line behind me.
  • We'll hang out down by the steps and fountains for a bit, where we'll do "scatter" and "caution tape."
  • Then, we will quickly walk single file back to the dressing room.
PERKS
  • $5/performance to offset your parking/transportation costs.
  • Refreshments will be served after the performance.
  • You get to keep your costume if you participate in all the performances!
  • Experience the thrill of live performance!
Feel free to bring a friend to volunteer with you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with this performance!  I feel so honored that you are volunteering your time and effort!
love,
Allison

Donorcycle Notes

Volunteers will be vip audience members.  They get to experience the performance first hand, and through the lens of body uncomfort, and scripted aesthetics.

Jon Ciliberto, who will be interacting with the audience by scanning them and wrapping them in caution tape.

Through volunteers and audience interaction, this piece has a lot of similarities to one that I did at Eyedrum as the dictator.

WORKER ACTIONS
  • Workers will be following the instructions of the lead worker. 
  • You should be slow, somber, relaxed and muted. 
  • Keep your arms at your sides.
  • Provide a still backdrop for my actions, that is parallel to the audience.
  • Ignore the audience.
  • Focus on looking at me and each other, while paying attention to the compositions that fill your field of vision.

COMMAND WORDS:
  • LINE = form a line that follows the leader so that you are providing a backdrop for me that is parallel to the audience.
  • CIRCLE = form a circle around me. This action happens when I need to communicate something to you.
  • SCATTER = walk 27 steps away, and then quickly return and form a CIRCLE around me.
  • CAUTION TAPE = hold onto caution tape.

During the first Donorcycle, I had an extremely negative reaction.  This performance is going to embrace that negativity.
