Sound walk
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.

A workshop facilitated by Kel Portman held at The Walking Encounters Conference organised by the University of Western Macedonia

A walk made as if to their homes, following as straight a line as possible.
