A Line to Cross, A Voice to Follow

A 17m walk across a real border trace (Albania-Greece). A synthetic voice reads GPS coordinates. The challenge: cross a red line in perfect sync with the voice calling out the border point. A fragile choreography of precision.

Song of the Path walkshop

Workshop Leaders: Rosie Montford’s exhibition ‘Song of the Path’ is on at Gallery 44AD. Her practice explores the dialogue between walking and drawing, seeking out landscapes from which she can physically combine disciplines to work across printmaking, drawing and bookmaking. Vicky Hunter is a Visiting Research Fellow in dance and environmental humanities at Bath Spa University and formerly Professor of Site Dance at the University of Chichester. Her site-specific dance research examines the body’s engagement with space and place through considering bodily, spatial and kinetic engagements with environments. Vicky has produced a number of site dance performance works and a book publication Site, Dance and Body: Movement, Materials and Corporeal Engagement (2021). How to book: This event is FREE but places are limited
