In the city, the ballets!

The lecture today was interesting. From the start I felt that this was going to be a fun workshop. The guys from Unsworn talked about crowd-centered choreography which is art of making structures in which movement occurs using the city as action space and the crowd as participants. This basically means that we are creating some kind of choreography in a given area in malmö city, starting at K3. We have only 10 minutes to perform each groups choreography, which isn't necessarily an easy task. We began our workshop today by walking a three minute stretch in 30 minutes. Neither slower nor quicker. That is harder than I first thought. Since we did the walk in the core of the city there were a lot of curious people passing by asking us what we were doing. I heard a man say: " are you doing this because the society is in such a hurry nowadays?" Since the walk had to be in silence I didn't answer him but I started to think about what he had said. Indeed he was right. I became very restless during the slow walk and had to really focus on not picking up speed.
The workshop will be performed tomorrow and our group is the first one to start. It's going to be interesting to see what all the groups have come up with.
