Here are a number of quotes from multiple sources I feel relate to my topic. These should be worked into my essay or used as paragraph talking points.

1. ‘Ritual and play lead people into a ‘second reality’, separate from ordinary life. This reality is where people can become selves other than their daily selves. When they temporarily become or enact another, people perform actions different from what they do ordinarily.’ (Schencher Chapter 2)
2. ‘Another way of putting this would be to say that music is the architecture of time…whenever any number of people hear any piece of music played in any way, they share, in this sense, a common time.’ (Eisenbeg, The Recording Angel, Chapter 2)
3. ‘Private Music, music no one hears, reinforces your invisibility by giving you a private structure of time to set against public time.’ (Eisenberg, Chapter 2)
4. ‘The absence of clocks contributed to the dance dynamic. In the every day world the clock signifies the unstoppable forward movement of teleological time, but partly time unfolds in a different dimension…When clocks are nowhere to be seen, time starts to dissolve, and this provided the dancers at the loft with an opportunity to forget their socialised selves.’ (Lawrence, Love Saves the Day, Chapter 1)
5. ‘Time, though didn’t simply stand still, but went into symbiotic reverse thanks to Mancuso’s practice of decorating the Loft with hundreds of Balloons.‘ (Lawrence, Chapter 1)
