===== A material object field =====

There will be collections of material objects that participants can bring into the scene. Participants will be asked to move the objects as if they were animated in some way & asked to imagine their experience and affect on the scene. The material field is made of lots of things that you would expect to see in that scene at that time and lots of things you wouldn’t, from queer people and women’s lives and other experiences at the time. Also random objects from everyday life at that time, mugs, coffee tables, CD’s, school books, the porcelain french maid statuette, cigarettes etc. It’s important to have a mixture of objects of different sizes, from different settings, with different materials, affordances, rich with social and personal associations.
