General comments on the room

For a successful performance/installation, the room should preferably be one in which people can let go and relax without stress. It should be as peaceful as possible, with soft music in the background, a pleasant scent and a living-room ambience. If the weather is warm and dry, ritual feetwash ceremonies can of course take place out-of-doors.

Standard equipment for public events:
(Travel to event with transport provided or my own car):

- a 100 kg hairdressers' chair
- a small enamel foot-bowl
- a low stool and a foot-stool
- small towels (about 20) with a shelf to lay them on (white)
- a blanket
- a watering-can for fetching water
- foot bath-oil with herbal essences, massage oil and foot cream
- a 2 kw 240 V kettle and a saucepan (if no running water is available)
- 2 x 60 w clamp lamps for lighting

Required at the location:

- three assistants to carry the hairdressers' chair
- hot and cold water in the immediate vicinity (including a sink for pouring water away)
