MEASURING THE CLASSROOM 209 WORKSHOP

The measurements of the Classroom 209 workshop are taken, as the workshop will be reproduced using “human architectures”. The planes and elevations of the ground and the four walls are drawn. Parallel to this process, the pupils and Daniel Chust Peters document the concept of “human architectures”.

PREPARING THE MODEL

After taking the measurements of Classroom 209 workshop and making free-hand drawings of the room, several sessions are devoted to making clean, scale versions of these initial sketches. At the same time, we begin searching for full-length photographs of people in different moods. These images of people, multiplied, will serve to make the models of Classroom 209 workshop.

MODELS

The individual, 1:40 scale models of Classroom 209 are completed.

SCRIPTS

Based on thinking about moods, ideas are discussed for scripts that the volunteers taking part in the work Air race will perform on the day of filming. Organised in groups, the pupils imagine possible ways of representing different emotional states through gesture, wardrobe, sound and actions.

The situations will be created from these scripts. The first ideas for scripts can be found on the blog.

COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTION

The project production stage begins and commissions are organised to perform all the work necessary to prepare for the filming of Air race. These commissions are responsible for communication, wardrobe, production, construction, catering services, etc. To spread the call for more than 100 volunteers to represent the Classroom 209 workshop through human architectures, posters are designed, and 600 are printed for distribution around the neighbourhood, along with 500 flyers.

FILMING AIR RACE

The representations of the Classroom 209 workshop using human architectures based on three scripts (“cough”, “whistle”, “shout”) are filmed in Plaça de Llibertat Ròdenas, a square in La Verneda neighbourhood, on Saturday, 20 March 2010. The camera is installed on a scaffold at a height of eight metres. Erection of the scaffold begins at 8 am, and at 10.30 the volunteers begin to arrive, with interested local residents also starting to part in the action from around 11.30.
