Performance Prompt: Dance with a chair (documented)
Media: Film
Dear Reader,
This dance/video piece is an homage to one of my favorite films, The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. I've taken footage from the film and spliced it with some of my own. The fixed chairs are by the artist Scott Burton and are at the Equitable Center in Midtown Manhattan. The folding chair belonged to my great grandmother.
I hope you enjoy this one. I think it's the one I'm the most proud of.
-Ian/Apollo
