Momentaries
Momentaries are 1 minute performances, filmed and recorded to be shared on The Lockdown. Submissions of these bits can come from anyone at anytime during our collective time in social isolation.
What do I do when I’m alone?
How am I with them?
What did we do when we were together?
These are questions one might choose to examine in 60 seconds. Or one could examine a house plant, a ceiling fan, a feeling, or nothing at all.
Seeing as the confines of our day-to-day interactions and choices are much tighter than usual most of us, the confines of this project are minimal. Whether you think a performed moment is one worth sharing or not. Share share it.
Prompts for performers just to get the gears turning:

Start a business in your home. Sell no one something. Take a one minute video of this interactionless transaction. Send it in.
Teach me a how to cook something.
Hold someone.
