This video is one of a series of five. It is made in Paris during a three months residency at the Cite Internationale des Arts. At the time Paris was my working place and the series is to be continued in each new city that I reside for a period of time.

Walking with Toddlers

‘Walking with Toddlers’ is a comic audio play about the joys and frustrations of going for a walk with a young child, co-written and co-produced by Angie Belcher (writer, director, comedian, and facilitator) and Eleanor Rycroft (Senior Lecturer in Theatre and gender historian). It uses the juxtaposition of an idealised walk imagined via ‘Minarra’s Mindful Mummies Podcast’ and the reality of walking with a toddler, to consider how care-giving can create both obstructions and opportunities when trying to get from A to B.

Walkers are 'practitioners of the city,' for the city is made to be walked. A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities. Just as language limits what can be said, architecture limits where one can walk, but the walker invents other ways to go.
