Space Between Us
A trail has been left for you to follow... alone. Experience the wavering flavours on a journey that maps the spit and smiles of the people that pass you by.
On an anonymous street magic is sparked, where the intimacy of a stranger, bare resemblance to cinematic moments. Fragments of a story are told; a collage to piece together in the reality of the streets where they exist.
I imagine I might meet you in a café, or on a park bench, or at the Library, or on an abandoned street. Share a smile, a story or a hand.
Unexpectedly, feeling that we’re connected…will we meet again? Will we just continue to dance around each other’s path?
What happened between us, here, in this space?
Physical Description:

The journey both starts and ends with an installation at the venue. The spectator experiences the journey alone; a new spectator can start the performance every 10 mins. The experience lasts approx. 40 mins.
