Calling all Disorienteerers

Submitted by jennasingleton on Wed, 2007-04-18 15:46.

The disorienteering are busy pulling together our materials and our little challenges and now we are looking for victims/participants/mappers/guinea pigs!

We want to do our mapping over the bank holiday weekend - preferably on the Saturday and need some mappers to help us.

The activity will be simple and fun - we'll arm you with some tools and send you out into the park to explore and disorienteer! You will hopefully come back to us with some interesting thoughts, inspirations and daft pictures (cameras supplied!)

Let's go disorienteering...

- Can a map disorientate you?

- What is it to be lost in a place?

- How can the very familiar become disorientating when looked at in a new way?

- How can we reveal the ‘hidden layer’ of potential meanings locked up in space?

- How can some of the more secretive activities that go on in a park be celebrated?

- We orient ourselves using very familiar tried and tested reference points – what if we change these?

- Can we create a map that confuses, excites or even disturbs someone’s experience of the park?

Monsters of Necklace Park

Submitted by jennasingleton on Mon, 2007-02-26 17:34.

An idea that came to us yesterday whilst we were thinking about our disorienteering map was about monsters. And where would the monsters of necklace park live? what would they look like? what would they eat?
I thought a 'monster map and spotting guide' might be a fun thing for kids - big and small alike - to create.
Any thoughts?
