ANOTHER WAY 

TO BE                 A     disarrangement         of hallucinatory         maternal

presences         indeterminacy     &dissonant structures 

crashed.symbols (failed)(flailed) images chatter         repetition but what about the choir

• Is subject to frequent interruptions.

• Works beyond normal hours for planned functions of the church and emergencies.

• Communicates with supervisor and other church staff, volunteers, members and guests.

• Is exposed to slippery conditions, odors, outside weather conditions, etc.

• Keeps whistling. 

Improvisation is key****
