A busy public space can be like a school of fish: one follows another and then the whole group turns unexpectedly toward an exit, an entrance, a waiting place...or two people peel off from the group and take their own direction. Lines and circles of movement, ebbing and flowing.
Last week in rehearsal for Giant Place Detail we recreated through interactive movement the flow and flux of a crowd moving through the Winter Garden. One evening, we were turning with and moving through one another and suddenly a woman on a bench jumped up and joined our "school". The video above captures this moment..

Interviews in the Winter Garden
This video was taken a year ago and was part of our research in developing Giant Place Detail. Interviews and ambient recording will be part of the video installation and documentary film and inform the process of making the performance.
