Walking and Moving with Trees

Bathscape Tree sound walk

This workshop involves a tree-sound walk. Starting in Victoria Park, participants will follow a ‘tree walk’ route. Led by Vicky Hunter and Rosie Montford, participants will engage with the trees and the walking route through a series of tasks involving drawing, moving, pausing and reflecting on experiences and encounters gathered along the way.

The walk will culminate in a movement workshop at The Schoolroom, Bath Artists’ Studios. We will draw on the sound walk to create a collaborative movement ‘score’ for participants to collectively engage in and share their experiences of the day’s events – no specialist dance or movement experience is required – this workshop is inclusive, adaptable and open to all.

The activities, tasks and reflections will be collated en route and in the studio and added to the Sound Walk archive as a record of the event and a prompt to action for subsequent participants wishing to engage with the tree walk in an enhanced and active manner.

What to wear / bring: Loose comfortable clothing and trainers / stout walking shoes are recommended. Please bring water, sunscreen, waterproofs as required and a notebook and pen, please bring snacks and refreshments as required.

Families, adults, children all welcome, children must be accompanied. Part of the Bathscape Walking Festival.

Depending on how you look at it

Janice Jensen's "walkingwhiledrawing" project explores the subjective perception of moving through the environment. Using a drawing machine, she records her movements while walking to create linear documentation and virtual landscapes in VR. The ongoing project has been displayed in various exhibitions and is set to expand with new landscapes and multimedia elements.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
