(1) Location: We will meet at 2pm Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse, 3800 Stephen M White Dr, San Pedro, CA 90731. (See attached map of Cabrillo Beach, showing bath house and adjacent parking.) If you arrive after 2:10, look for us on the beach just to the right of the bathhouse. Or, feel free to call or text me to connect: 215.490.3064. 

(2) Parking: Parking is metered and costs $1 per hour. There is usually an attendant at the entrance who will take your card, ask you how many hours you are staying, and run it for you. You can park right in front of the bathhouse, or if those spots are full, there will be plenty in front of the aquarium, a short distance away.) 

(3) Weather: We will be meeting outside beside the Pacific Ocean. The weather should be incredibly beautiful tomorrow (sunny with a high of 67 degrees), but do come prepared for the elements. I recommend a sun hat, sun glasses, sunscreen, water, and comfortable walking shoes. There are picnic tables where we can sit, but also feel free to bring a blanket or towel for seating. 

(4) Agenda: Kelp dying/printing, environmental dialogue scores, and movement 

When you arrive, the kelp dye pot should already be cooking (feel free to come out a little early, if you'd like to participate in gathering the kelp for the pot. I'm planning to get there around 1pm.)

We will begin our 2pm session with a sequence of Pauline Oliveros' environmental dialogue scores. (See below score agenda).

Then, we will revisit our movement score in progress from last week and artist Claudia Henandez Romero will share an ecologically-attuned afro-cuban dance practice with us. (Thank you, Claudia!)

We will close out our session gathering site-specific materials (seaweed, rust, shells, rope, palm fronds, leaves, rocks, etc), which we will sound together in a short material-driven improvisation. Then, we will bind these materials up in provided textiles and dropping them into the dye pot. (I'm bringing a propane-fueled burner, some string, a big dyepot, and (10) 5 x 6', pre-mordanted cotton textiles for us to use on site). We will have the option to apply cyanotype as an additional layer over these kelp-dyed textiles next week.
