spring hopes eternal
for multiple performers, on or around the first day of spring
a specific date, time, location, and signal word or gesture for the event are agreed upon.
each performer prepares by putting on as many pieces of winter outerwear as possible (coats, hats, scarves, gloves, etc).
performers arrive at the location from different directions, a few moments before the agreed upon time.
when the signal word or gesture is given, each person removes their winter items simultaneously, throwing them on the floor or on the ground to create a single giant pile.
the pile should remain intact long enough for performers and bystanders to appreciate the moment and the temporary sculpture that emerged from it.
performers collect their things and leave with hope renewed for what the spring will bring.

Un/til it is Discovered...
Gather a dozen or more stones with at least one flat side. Choose stones that are approximately the size of your hand or smaller. They should be easy to pick up.
Create a mini-poster that will fit on the flat side of the smallest stone you have gathered.
Create your message/image with the intention of transforming this stone into a vehicle for kindness.
Next, choose or create a symbol the size of a postage stamp or smaller. Make enough copies of your mini-poster and stamp as you have stones.
Wheatpaste your message/image onto the flat side of the stones, and let dry. Wheatpaste your stamp/symbol onto the other side of the stones, and let dry.
