WALK 5: city moves

The fifth walk with Alisa Oleva invited attendees to move with the city and let the city move them.

The outing explored the following questions: How do you move in the city? How does the city move you? What are the desired paths you make in it? What are the urban choreographies of your neighbourhood? Can we dance with the city? The group started at The CarWash with some arrival exercises then went out into the streets to become human cameras. They followed leaves, noted everything that moved, avoided stepping on cracks and took part in some soft parkour.

WALK: our series of free monthly urban art walks, hosted by performance and walking artist Alisa Oleva is part of our Your Space Or Mine project.

Make a map of how you got here today.

As a group, we put a rubber band around ourselves and try to walk through the streets inside it.

Choreograph each other by your own hands as others follow them.

Tempo score: Follow me as a group as I walk at various speeds: from very slow to almost running to slow again.

Make an inventory of everything that moves.

Walk without stepping on the cracks.

Become a sculpture in a public space. Repeat.

Follow me interacting with surfaces and architectures along the way.
