Orasaigh soundwalk (soft launch)

Walking the Line
Participants were invited to start to walk as if to their homes, following as straight a line as possible.
Prompts were given that predetermined stopping and reflective points based on Fibonacci sequences.
As artists came from Australia, the USA, Greece and the UK, their routes led off in very different directions.
Sentinel Species
People have long observed animals for signs of threatening hazards or evidence of impending environmental threats. These species, called sentinel species, are of great importance not only in “perceiving and bringing” the first signs and symptoms of the “climate crisis”, but also in “anticipating” it as sentinels. Sentinel Species Walking Encounter reverses the sentinel roles of humans and birds. Humans will enact the role of sentinels for the endangered bird species living in the area. Choosing Prespa as a location for the proposed Performance/Installation is no coincidence as Prespa is an environmentally protected area.
