Basic Elements, made up of performance artists Janice Pomer and Barry Prophet, engaged students in a number of activities. They included making hang- ing xylophones from copper tubing, string, and wooden mallets the students fashioned themselves; and making wind chimes made from reeds, snare wire and washers. In other activities, one stu- dent was tangled up in an elas- tic spider's web, while the oth- fisiting Thunder Bay? Shopping? Site Seeing? Skiing? Find comfort at ers tried to prevent the student from escaping; students struck bamboo sticks against the floor to make a drum beat; and they played the tops of crystal glass- es and swung plastic hoses in the air to create a unique sym- phony.
