ZINE – Hungry for Change About food: We enter the shop and we we choose between dread and boredom, we might simply get on with it as fast as we can although some of us like to explore a little – yet how little can take us far enough? There will be guilt, no matter what. We are confused but not alone and so we talk about it make food make a zine about food change the way we consume food What’s good nutrition, does organic really matter, where does it come from, what’s its environmental impact, who made it and what did they earn and actually what does it mean to put things into yourself and into others, how does it affect the way we think about body and mind, about drinking eating warmth with being social and giving food with honest generosity, not the fake cheap chocolate smile. What is it’s true cost? So Zine came as a sparkle of an idea to brighten the very festive season – x-mas – where that befuddlement of consumption is at its greatest and most voluminous bastardised self. This is a little trail on how we managed to put it together: We collected stuff that has come up , after a dinner with friends who were interested to join and produce a Zine in exchange for buying silly presents. We collected names here and the idea was that people chose what they wanted to write or draw about concerning food and we linked up names with interests for everyone to see what each others projects were. Next dinner, we brought the mess to the table. These were practical items we needed people to respect: Use an A4 page horizontal format because that folded in half should make a good Zine size. Specify if you want to write or draw or do both – that way someone could see that Mr X only doing writing so maybe they could do a drawing to their subject or vice versa. Any amount is welcome – you can write a two liner, bring in random quotes or abstract drawings. However if you bring in writing longer than A4 capacity we need to shorten it a little. Yes we do want political correctness in making sure we don’t provide feeble research. Do not come with under researched facts although questions and ‘what we don’t know’ always has relevance is welcome. The writing style is yours, you can be blunt, you can be discreet, you can only write questions, or maybe you are desperate – that’s fine. Before we print it we will exchange and proof read but that is it… best part about it, we changed the way we consume food. The housing cooperative I live in is vegan and vegetarian and we order our food together every month -bulk from SUMA – and from a very good veg delivery scheme. A huge cut down on boring shops and a good share of communal cooking. Back to Archive

Nunhead Art Trail OPEN STUDIOS at the Green Community Centre, London Exit Map invited locals and London’s dance community for an afternoon of work in progress sharings and a session of our Shared Practice to integrate an awareness how creative somatic practices lead to research and choreographic works. The presentations that took place were unusual in that we are asking artists to stay true to their current state of exploration and share via talks and showings the journey of their work and bring attention to the question what we perceive as product versus processes. We ask how do processes shape the product? Proposing transparency and accessibility along the way to disseminate not only work but a culture that invites feedback and co-authoring. Alongside we hope to foster an awareness that dance can feature in everyone's life and it means to sustain a creative practice and engagement with others and our environment. image: Lorea Burge and Laura Doehler Exit Map advocates a freedom from product pressure to allow artists the space to play and find what they were NOT looking. This way we can discover what sits in the cracks and what happens when our bodies do the thinking.

Risk Assessment ...for Moving On events Moving On is a personal practice that people attend to while others in safe physical distance do so as well. This event is an effort to attend to the physical and mental health of SE London local communities, by facilitating a movement practice that is in line with current “lockdown” regulations. We, ExitMap, are committed to reduce the transmission of Covid-19 and the dramatic consequences on people’s lives and NHS capacity. Further, we are aware of the simultaneous mental health epidemic in London and the negative impact of the pandemic on social isolation and various kinds of physical and mental conditions. Our event has been carefully thought out in order to minimise physical proximity, while creating opportunities for people to experience social connection by sharing outdoors public spaces. Social distancing guidelines: Each individual is following the audio guidance and only interacts with others from a distance, by noticing their movements and responding to them. Participants might engage in a physically distanced conversation with one other person (at least 2m apart). In cases where there is more social density (more than two people), participants are asked to keep at least 4m distance, to avoid the impression of being a gathering. Their practice is synced to happen simultaneously with others, but in a different place than others. This person has signed a disclaimer to not, under any circumstance, come in close proximity (less than 2 meters) to someone else before, during or after the event, unless it is a person of their household or carer. Why people do it at the same time in relation to one another: The reason people undertake this exercise at the same time is to experience a sense of community, to feel supportive in their dance practice as dancing alone in public spaces is conventionally considered odd and out of place. As is going for a walk in a public space with Moving On we mitigate the negative effects social distancing has on mental and physical health. Therefore, this initiative responds to an essential social need in the most responsible way possible. How rules are communicated: Every participant has been made aware when registering for this event and has signed that they understand the rules of social distancing to safeguard everybody, that they understand to keep very generously spaced out to not appear as a gathering as it might upset people and that if they have been in touch with Covid in the past two weeks are not allowed to attend but are obliged by law to self isolate at home. Track and trace Alongside the registration we collect contact information to respond immediately should any participant show symptoms after the event. This event is however conceived for people to NOT be in any proximity that might endanger them or others. Location / Travel We encourage people to attend to their practice as local as possible by going to a park nearby and to make sure to not travel far from their home. We are putting an effort in letting people know who is in a manageable proximity to practice locally at the same time in roughly the same location. However we impress that this is not a meet up but remains, as always a personal practice that stands in relation to somebody else. Safeguarding Every participant signs along with their registration that they alone are responsible for their physical well being and for their belongings. There is no physical meet up or check in with a facilitator but an event where an audio proposes ways to engage with environment and movement which every participant can adopt to their needs and wishes as long as they make to stay physically distanced.

Open Day For a whole day The Green shared what it offers – classes, meet ups, support schemes, drop ins, tea and coffee – for its local community to get a taste and to integrate development that comes directly from the community and is for the community. Exit Map's facilitation focussed on the wishes and dreams of lour local community and worked on producing an environment that connected and listened to what is going on in people’s lives. As a community centre The Green wants to create social well being and so we ask you How are we well together? The program of tasters showed what is on offer on a regular basis but throughout the day there were conversations, games, food and interview stations, map making etc to find out who is who and for all to remember that people are worth meeting and that strangers can be become friends. The entire event was free, grown from people who care: The Green, Exit Map, its teaching community and the community itself who provided food and helped out; people who care and want to connect.

W ith no hope - enthusiastically without hope - of reward or guarantee of outcome. In Arabic by the way, dana means the most perfectly seized, valuable and beautiful pearl. The potency of giving. We are offering teaching and organisation on donation basis. We give what we love and what we love to share because we know how deeply relevant this work is to breathe freely, relate openly, build trust, care and a collective imagination towards a future that we meet together. This work is a survival strategy and tool that needs to be accessible. TALKS If you would like to join this event, you will purchase a ticket that covers costs but not teachings and organisation. At the end of the event we will have a Dana talk which is an open conversation about the price we imagine, desire, afford or not and the implications this has on our lives. Afterwards you choose a donation you would like to give for the teaching and organisation. TRANSPARENCY We feel that knowing a cost break down belongs to the conversation we are engaging with when we speak of dana and donation.

The teachers and organizers do not receive any money from the above retreat charges. At the end of the event you will be welcome to give your donation for the teachings and organization. COMMUNITY SERVICE More than a financial implication, this also means that everyone helps out. Not an event distraction but an integration as we collaborate, get to know each other in functional and mundane ways, getting to know how such a participation can bring joy, support and learning. This giving encompasses a generosity where we can experiment with an economic model based on voluntary giving rather than fees for services. It's a system that reminds us that each one of us is intrinsically valuable to the whole, supported by the whole, and responsible for the welfare of the whole. And that we have time, to craft this gift. Bookings How and When to get there Visibly Unstable

Their distinct approaches utilize techniques of touch, sensation, imagery, drawing, sounding and embodied listening to invite couriousity and receptivity towards the movement and energies we own and those that surround us. It is a journey into a sense making of the moving body and its pathway into interconnectivity. We invite all cultures, genders and abilities to join in to create a space of inclusivity to expand our collective story. We want people to encounter dances to foster a togetherness based on equality and openness that is respectful of our boundaries. The dance artists: Elisa Vassena Playfully moving between dancing and mark-making/drawing, Elisa's classes will invite us to cultivate curiosity towards different materialities in motion. We will allow our attention to sharpen, shift and drift while engaging with the dynamic plurality of our bodies in relation to others. Imagination, imagery, and object work will be woven into the sessions as sparks for open exploration. Laura Doehler Laura’s classes will enable us to openly and respectfully meet the perceptive field of territories and boundaries that we bring into the shared space through our bodies and histories. We will work with, pull and stretch our entanglements with these fluid, alien and intimate identities we own to viscerally explore collective sense making through gentle contact work, bodily listening and tuning practices for a new shared imagination to emerge. Sara Ruddock The sessions with Sara invite listening through the body, as a relational and multi-sensory practice, playing with viscerality of voice, sound, rhythm and vibration, being with potentials and many moving parts. Tending to what might open if I listen through the in-betweens and edges of my perception, and how the way I listen might change my experience. You are invited to be with questions that the practice generates for you, as well as co-creating scores/loose frames for improvising together.

Exit Map emerged in 2004, founded by Laura Doehler, to create dance collectively with other dancers. Exit Map’s work has incorporated theatre, photography and fashion, produced interventions and site specific work alongside staged performances, and introduced improvisation as a major tool of work. About us... Exit Map is a n artistic platform for collaborative and participative processes wherein dance cultivates meaningful connections amongst people and the more- than- human natural worl d. Together we foster symbiotic relationships among artists, the environment and people to grow a network of interconnectedness that transcends the impact of one's individual movements and actions. As a collective of individual artists, we share unique perspectives and tools towards a collective body where each one of us brings in fresh approaches to everyday encounters, our collective history, present circumstances and future aspirations. Leaving preconceived performances and solitary visions behind, we seek a common ground that establishes a new arena where personal visions align and drive collective experiences and ideas of empathetic coexistence. Through moving together we engage the local community and reach out to the global community to mobilize collective action towards a creative and regenerative future. Our work spans site-specific community workshops to aid regeneration, dance practices and classes to embed embodied life-centric encounters alongside a new and powerful collective imagination through the medium of contemporary dance, somatics, improvisation and relational practices. We are a community of practice that visits common ground sites such as nature reserves, parks and community spaces to reach the next and former generation that invests in togetherness. We don't open doors but take them out entirely, returning to the soft edges of nature, sourcing from fresh breath and grounding for a wholesome connectivity. We give 'performance' a new finish by making the freedom to move as we like visible in and outdoors. Our project Moving On supports people in cultivating this agency by returning to nature as space with agency. Likewise, The Dinner of Doing Things and Architectures of Togetherness , shed light on the significance of co-authoring spaces for a truly collective environment to emerge and how secular rituals may seed lasting and impactful transformations that continue to grow.
