Project Proposal
Before the exhibition I want to create an installation on the wall, that will include having playing cards glued to the wall. The image will be an orderly image of a spiral that moves from the center out, encompassing the entire wall space allotted. This piece is about the notion of chance being thrown into order. Some of the cards will just sit on the wall and others will look like they are embedded on the wall, and if I can work out something to make a few of the cards sit like they are flying into the wall. Sometimes the most random circumstances will form into something beautiful.
Here is a sketch of the image I want to create. It probably will change a bit when installed on the wall, but this is the basic idea.

Initial Project Proposal
The is the proposal written to Cheryl, when the project was first pitched to Cheryl. Project was approved, and the collaboration began.
Weiji
⇒ Crisis – Global Warming, ill effects on the planet
⇒ Danger – No planet for us to live
⇒ Opportunity – Ideas to live better
Approach of Communication
Nonverbal communication is the single most powerful form of communication. More than voice or insightful rhetoric, nonverbal communication cues you as to what is on another person’s mind. My final collaborative arts piece will be sensitive to the
power of the emotions and thoughts communicated nonverbally.
Collaboration
Dance Choreographer‐Trudy Niess, has designed a stunning yet improvised dance routine This piece consist of loose movement, and concentrates on the touch, and interaction of human bodies. I will take this piece and brand this with a message of saving energy. The dance will intensify as regular people make the wrong decisions in the beginning, to a point of climax, after this point we will see via the eyes of actors/dancer a better world where people are making an effort to be energy efficient.
Synopsis
We see dancers dance across a darkly lit stage almost as though it was a ritual. We then see all of the characters introduced, co‐related to a bad habit. Each of these dancers will simply use their nonverbal emotions to communicate, without changing any steps of the dance routine choreographed by Trudy. As these bad habits are introduced with will see the effects of each bad habits, to the point where it hits the peak, which will be in‐sighting incident, from where we recede towards better practices. This will also be reflected in the way the dancers react.
