Wandering Dunes Instructions 

Game by Nicholas Bussmann & Michael Guggenheim

Preparation:

Select three game leaders who come from different professional backgrounds.

Select seven singers who speak seven different languages and come from diverse singing traditions.

Select three musicians who refer to a nomadic tradition.

Installation:

1 big room with multiple entrances

3 sandbox tables

3 egg timers

1 collection of small objects found in the same city as the venue to be used as props

1 table with a black velvet surface for the props

1 set of voucher cards for each player

2 handfuls of joker cards

Performance:

The seven singers move around the venue as a group, going in and out

of the room and venue, periodically stopping to sing The News Trilogy.

The musicians are free to move independently in, out, and around the venue.

The musicians may play alone or together, whenever and whatever they want to play.

Game:

The game is an offer to the visiting public.

The game is called BUILD A WORLD.

The game is played in a sandbox.

Multiple games may be played simultaneously.

The game has two phases: first to build the world, and then to change it.

The game operates on two levels: the physical action in the sand, and the dialog between the player and game leader.

The game’s rules may be changed or ignored at any time.
