Nano and Susanna act as practitioners; Raz as director; Ruby as videographer; and Omer as witness. The practitioners hold stewardship of different material, three random Tarot cards drawn from either Tarot of Marseille (M) or Thoth Tarot (T). The director and videographer are unaware of the specific material.

During this Period, we found that the director's unknowingness of the material reduced the directorial relation, the director mostly serving as a disrupter – in the sense of providing seemingly arbitrary, reactive stimuli in the form of sounds, touch, and spatial composition. We concluded that in order to expand the potentiality of the directorial relation, we could minimize the tension between different material, or non-material in the case of the director in the notation above. Within the practice space itself, minimizing diversity of material between practitioners to three shared cards, still keeping the director “in the dark” ( [ABC] < D). Otherwise, the director could be “enlightened” to the material, so all participants are working together with and through it ( [ABC] < D , or rather [ABC] < D ). Additionally, we discussed how the practitioner could help the director, “want to be directed”, allowing for mutual communication.
