Dancing In Lifts
An investigation into the lift, as a performance space, which is transitory, shifting and unfixed.
Salsa in Lifts
Location: Leeds Shopping Centres
Public interactive performances, with my salsa dress and salsa shoes at the ready I positioned myself in a public lift where I taught salsa moves. Members of the public could learn mambo and cacaracha steps while moving up and down in the lift space.
Dancing in Lifts
Location: Perambulator, New Work Yorkshire at Leeds Met Studio Theatre
An intimate durational performance inside a lift. At the moment somebody entered the lift, they become a part of an interactive dance game. Their response to a question dictated how the sequence of movement and stories unfolded. The performance lasted until the lift doors opened on another floor and people could exit or enter.
