U1 to B2 Instructions

2009-05-16T20:30:00.000-07:00

Hi. Your instructions are to tell a friend a story based on our photos in the post below - "U1 Performance". Here is a twist. You will invite your friend to participate by choosing the path that your story will take. Use this diagram to follow the possible paths that the story could take.

Once you understand the diagram, do this:

- Take a friend to a coffee shop and order two beverages of your choice.

- Start the story by telling them about 1. The big game.

- Then ask your friend if they want to learn more about 2. We dreamed or 3. He schemed.

- Tell them something about their choice - the dream or the scheme.

- Using the diagram, repeat this process through all of the images until you reach the END of the story at step 14 or 15.

- Document your telling of the story however you want.

Красная Селедка

2009-05-07T00:25:00.000-07:00

“Луковые очки только Красная Селедка" (От U1 до B2)
Возьми две луковици. Зделай в них дырки так что можно видеть из них. Потом сделай очки пользуясь лентой или веревкой для рам. Одень очки когда захочеш плакать о чем то но не хочеш никому сказать причину. Ето тебе даст предлог! Попробуй на друге.

2009-05-04T06:40:00.000-07:00

New Instructions:
"The Onion Spectacles are Just a Red Herring" (From U1 to B2)
Get two onions. Cut holes through them so that you can see, and make a pair of glasses to wear using tape or string or something like that for the frame. Wear the glasses when you feel like crying about something, but don't want to tell anyone the reason. This will give you an excuse! Try it out on a friend.

Translation:
This is the First Experiment (From B1 to U1)
Go to your fridge. If you haven't got any fridge, go to the fridge of your friends. Find an object there that interests you. Place this object on your face and take a portrait of yourself with it. Good luck!!

Ето первая попытка (от Б1 до С1)
