I saw I thought I remembered
The as if it’s just about to happen book series invites a reengagement with four workshops, facilitated within HZT Berlin’s BA Dance, Context, Choreography course between 2014–2016. Four of HZT’s teaching staff initiated a collaborative writing project with colleagues and HZT students and alumni to access what persists through the entanglement of their artistic and pedagogic practices. They returned to the pedagogic events with the question “What was and is it doing and what can we create with it now?” Initial experiences, notes and memories from the workshops were approached with a strategy of interruption. A specific set of parameters informed a structure of excerpts, footnotes, invitations and responses that produced a new order of connections based on selectivity, discontinuity and proliferation. As a reader you are encouraged to be involved with the passages of writings and drawings within these four books — to follow, skip across, take apart, expand, reassemble, rewrite and respond further. You are invited to experience what is still creating itself, as if it’s just about to happen. IMPRINT Project editor: Litó Walkey. Copy editor: Karen Christopher.

Record a 10-minute conversation with your partner about:<br />
“Turn a subject into a process” and its corresponding footnote.<br />
Each transcribe only what your partner said.<br />
Work together to combine and re-order your transcriptions into one<br />

The subject asks: “What am I able to do without feeling like shit?”<br />
The process answers: “Work like clouds.”<br />
A subject turns its head to the side<br />
it turns to look behind and to itself<br />
it stands in the middle of a crowded room<br />
and it stands in an empty room<br />
identified, defined, differentiated<br />
or<br />
non recognisable, non-distinct, unremarkable<br />
A dramatic turn of events occurs: The subject becomes a process.<br />
“Commit to the unlikely” it says.<br />
An invitation.<br />
A suggestive opening. The possibility for the thing as it is, to change.
