reengaging with humans, mutating the project for human participation

So far the project has been a collaboration with the Birds, I decided the project needed to have human collaborative elements, In other projects I have been working on, I have been exploring into creativity through participatory(or interactive) projects. As such I mutated Conversations with Birds into a participatory project where a human audience took the place of the birds as collaborators for the work, exploring memory and imagination whilst working with creativity. I became a conductor for the creative output of the individuals involved.

I did the performance as usual in front of the audience/collaborators, then asked the audience to draw the bird they had in their mind, I the asked the audience to write down (in onomatopoeia terms) the sound that they thought their bird would make, using these sounds myself and the audience then engaged in a conversation, Myself with my recorded bird song and the audience with their newly acquired bird sounds
