The Map of the city is not the City. The Map is a performative regime that produces space, a tool that restricts desire, and an apparatus that governs bodies. How do we engage with the City in ways that don’t reiterate the spatial logics of the Map? What choreography governs everyday life? How do we imagine maps that are temporary, borderless, and what we need in the moment?
Map Dancing is an outdoor movement workshop where participants alter and destroy physical maps and then interpret them as movement scores. Participants will move through a series of engagements with map objects, and lead the group through interpreting their scores. In this workshop, participants will engage with urban questions through movement.
