The Score
"In the 13th year, the King consulted the Prince of Ki. The King spoke and said: Oh Prince of Ki! Heaven shelters and raises the people here below, it aids and harmonises its living conditions; I do not know whereby its constant norms get their proper order. The Prince of Ki spoke and said: I have heard that in ancient times Kun obstructed the inundating waters and brought disorder into the five elements. The sovereign God then was roused and angry, and did not give him the Great Plan in nine sections, whereby the constant norms get their proper order, and the constant norms were destroyed. As to Kun, he was killed and died, and Yu then succeeded him and rose. Heaven then gave Yu the Great Plan in nine sections, whereby the constant norms get their proper order."
from the Book of Documents, translated by Bernard Karlgren 1953
The performance schedule which follows is based on the Great Plan. Each performer is invited to represent a factor in the whole, for example to take charge of burning torches or drinking water or the calendar, whilst embracing all the other parts represented and enacted around. Processes such as self-discipline and meditation are to mastered internally as elements of participation. The structure provides the basis of organisation for each performer to express him or her self to the fullest and to move inwardly as well as outwardly into new balances of experience. Performers should feel free to make the vehicle work for themselves whilst repecting its form.
