WINGSPAN
January 16-April 4 ONGOING
The wingspan (arm span) of every participant/contributor to Playshop is recorded onto a roll of cloth paper. This roll is mounted to the wall and is unwound and marked to measure each person’s wingspan. The tape is marked with a hole, a sticker and name/date/location of each person.
At the end of Playshop we will roll the tape onto a spool. This will be a record of
the collective wingspan of Playshop. May we fly on!
