Being Away and Walking
An 8-hour dance that circles the four crosswalks of a city intersection, 630 crossings clockwise, 630 crossings counterclockwise. Bringing together durational performance and choreographed dance, the work explores the ways that the bodily focus and specificity of dance animate the unique space-time of duration. The work is designed within pedestrian traffic regulations and basic NY workday labor laws.
“You will / like it here, being away and walkingâ€
--Frank O’Hara
