Playing with Steps
Tweet |
For Playing with Steps, participants will use unusual equipment devised by Michel Groisman to touch and be touched by the ground. And the ground can be anything: a pillow, a sheet of paper, a sound, the simple presence of another. Michel will lead the group in experimenting with different ways of walking—simultaneously outside and in, as every step outwards is a step inwards and vice-versa.
Playing with Steps holds 12 people and is open to all abilities. The walk will be offered in English but Michel also speaks Portuguese.
Note from Michel: When my wife was two months pregnant, I gradually lost my ability to walk. Actually, I could walk, but only backwards. I could run forward, but could not walk. Now I'm getting better, but I’ve felt this way for almost 2 years.
