Walking with Io is a participatory walking research project based on the ancient myth of Io, a woman transformed, watched, pursued and driven into wandering. During the residency, Alba Sauleda will work with participants from De Bron and De Stroom through conversations, experimental walks and collective movement processes. Everyday complaints, desires and dreams will become starting points for collectively developed gestures and shared movement experiments. In the final public dérive, seven stages of Io’s journey will unfold through fragments of her story, movement, chance and collective walking.
Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) is an artistic cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe, starting in January 2024 for four years.
