One could wonder, if a schizoanalytic performance practice is at all possible, since it was rooted into a certain context, and also to certain people - Félix Guattari is still only person who has claimed to practice schizoanalysis. Nevertheless, since this is a concern for my research, I attempt to do so. What it means, is to create series of short improvisations alone or with other people, where one follows the lines of flight. One disperses the attention, and counter to contact improvisation, there is no search for balance. In fact, the crossings, interruptions and ruptures are what becomes somewhat significant. What is a flow, and what are the pebbles, rocks or crevices that distract the flow. One is meeting some contours and borders, but the intentions is not to cross the boundaries - one should not try to break through, but just follow the lines of flight. In a deleuze-guattarin jargon: one is not fully deterritorialized. This clip is a very lousy documentation of the first attempt in public, in Perfo-event in Telakka, Tampere, 16th of March, 2010. Yet, I like the way this bad documentation gives very minimum information what happened. Go first to your old plant and watch carefully the watercourse made by the rain. By now the rain must have carried the seeds far away. Watch the crevices made by the runoff, and from them determine the direction of the flow. Then find the plant that is growing at the farthest point from your plant. All the devil's weed plants that are growing in between are yours. Later...you can extend the size of your territory by following the watercourse from each point along the way. — Deleuze & Guattari, Thousand Plateaus, p.12.
