I know that this intro to Z may be a little confusing. Let me try to give you a brief description of what one of the three forms of presentation might look like.

I'll use the live events presentation. The initial stagings will be most likely three-days & three-nights affairs ( not continuously, of course ).

For the first staging, an inside space is appropriate functionally and symbolically ( warehouse, etc. ). What will happen here?

I have a story to tell, and it will be told in three days time. The basic script will be both modular and integral - in other words, it will have time and space for telling the story, along with time and space to insert works that offer richer perspective to the whole.

That might look as simple as having a standing exhibit of Great Flood visual art that people can wander through accompanied by mimes who have a dramatic intent in their behavior.

At designated intervals the mimes would usher the audience into an area where a carefully staged & scripted part of the presentation would occur.

 

After this scripted part of the presentation ended, the audience would be moved into other types of live presentation, such as an interactive panel discussion with mythologists, neurologists, etc. From there, the flow might be back to a scripted part of the presentation - on and on.

From the moment people enter this space, they not only enter an exhibit, meeting room, eating space, etc., they enter the drama of Ziusudra's storylines. It all occurs together in a flow through time that will occur over three days.

And naturally, little tattered Z will be everpresent in some form.

That's a brief description of what the live event " brain " of Z might look like. I'll tell those interested more about the website and the book/movie later.

Each of these three forms can use all the types of creative art available. And each of these three forms correlate with specific functions of each of the three brains in our heads.

We will be videotaping at all stages of the process and parts of these tapes will be re-incorporated into the live events - and much of it will be used used to put together a movie later on.
