Hello,

 
On Saturday, April 24th, I'll create a new performance at the Sint-Jansplein in Antwerp. Actually it's more a 'movement' (or choreography) than a performance. And for that "movement" I need your help. I'm looking around 150 participants who are interested to join the project.

 

In this project (with the working title 'Moving things') everyone follows a trail over the square. 150 people follow, on foot or by bike, each with a different speed and time of departure, a route on the square and surrounding streets.

So unfolds an imaginary web of people who encounter, scatter back, encounter again... The contacts with other people will come as an uplanned coincidence. The artificial movement will mingle with the everyday square life.

The St-Jansplein is ideal for the plan I've devised. From above it seems a sort of giant chessboard, with little people below that move, usually rushed, from one to the other side. It's this process that's magnified and abstracted.

Everything will be filmed en be used in a video-installation.

Now I think I need around 150 people, but it may also be more. The more people the better. Brothers, sisters, friends, grandparents, neighbours ... Everyone is welcome.

 

Specifically:
