Everybody, whether they are conscious of it or not- takes part in the choreography of the street. Automatically walking in the right tracks, doing the right actions at the right moments in the right spaces. Everybody knows their own roles and recognizes the roles that others play. If people cannot cope they will be recognized as : tramp, alcoholic, tourist etc. | ||
> In Choreography of the Street I train a group of people to take part in the already exsisting choreography in such a way that it (the group and the unprepared partaker) form a new choreography. The new choreography blurrs exsisting categories of normal versus deviant behaviour; it cannot be recognized as theatre (another categorie); it works as both an image from a distance and as an experience for the unprepared partakers. Choreography
of the Street is an ongoing project. |
