Worship Unplugged # 12 PLAYTIME

Well,
I'm going to start a regular bit here about what I'd put together as a worship experience given the chance to remove most of the expectations of others....

Scene:
Clear a space in the room for an 'in the round' set up
Add [4] cloth sheet screens held up/suspended with a length of timber along the top
Set up data projectors to rear project for each screen [or use a slide projector too]
Surround the space with a few desklamps shining on the wall outwards or the floor
Organise an ambient playlist on the laptop mediaplayer
Down light
Have a collection of symbols on the centre
Fill the floor space with rugs and cushions
Use 2 of the 4 screens for slideshow pictures
Use the other two for instructions; input etc

Build instructions for prayer, conversation, music etc into the AVs on show
The theme should be a life issue and how we might respond or support others in doing so

There is no MC/Leader needed
The instructions on screen and music guide us through the planned experience
It involves good coffee/drinks and quality warm food available throughout

The music is a mix of REM, Sting, Sarah McLachlan, U2, the Oils, and Brian Eno

Well, thats a START
More details as we go... OR it might change completely... look out the next place I'm booked to be!!

it is a interesting idea, however im not sure if you need to start with the scene or start with the why, or the what.

I'll expand on that thought later in the week...
