Dear Superstars,
a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

All festival participants + the general public are invited to improvise in a live space and time together.

RULES OF THE COSMOS
an opening night special event
presented by Red Rover Series

at the Main Gallery, CalArts campus
24700 McBean Parkway
Valencia, California 91355

Performance Instructions

1. During Rules of the Cosmos, you are a performer and audience member simultaneously. Everyone is a celestial body in this universe.

2. In preparation, bring writing about the cosmos and additional themes. This can be any combination of your own work, those by others, found texts, and imaginary languages.

3. You are encouraged to make active decisions to shape the event: decide when to read your writing and how to read together with other performers.

4. A curator announces the beginning and end of the 1-hour performance.

5. Performers walk around the space reading aloud, sometimes standing still and sometimes being silent.

6. At some point, performers exchange writing with each other and then read their new texts aloud.

7. At some point, performers form into small clusters like a nebula of stars and share a choral moment through repetition, chant, or movement.
