It was five minutes to noon. Around me, on all sides, enormous sheets of fire were cascading slowly from the sky, passing straight through the floor of the basin, and then rising again in an inverted torrent. The megaliths were no longer visible, screened by curtains of brilliant light, but I groped forward, following the slope, searching for what shade would still be among them. Twenty yards farther on I saw that the sun was directly overhead. It expanded until the disc was as wide as the basin, and then lowered itself to about ten feet above my head, a thousand rivers of fire streaming across its surface in all directions. There was a terrifying roaring and barking noise, overlaid by a dull, massive pounding as all the volcanoes in the volcano jungle began to erupt again. I walked on, in a dream, shuffling slowly, eyes closed to shut out the furnace around me. Then I discovered that I was sitting on the floor of the basin, which started to spin, setting up a high-pitched screaming.

The Waiting Grounds

1. The drawings are made in the expression of experience of the space, This drawing becomes a drawing of the site (experience of space/form)

2. In the second phase, we started developing texts as articulation of experience.

3. In this we were given to craft a spatial apparatus, an enclosure or a prosthetics used in that space that is being adapted.

4. We developed a space (theatre/performance),using to inhabit the space through our body. We developed script that mobilises the idea of making space through sound, movement, association etc.
