Dancing in the Urban Setting

The class Public Space by Feld72 take place in an abandoned military barrack that is soon to be demolished. Students, who are coming from various fields such as sculpture, dance or architecture, research the dynamics of public space. Some analyze street signs and their impossibility in terms of bodily postures or dance with urban objects such as bike parks, whereas the others look over the nomadic space created by the street vendors or the flow of speed in the city and the obstacles occuring as a result or the personal objects left in public spaces. While talking about the codes of behaviour and (un)written regulations of public space, teacher Micheal Obrist mentioned the video Ministry of Silly Walks by Monty Phyton.
