We created a work in five short rehearsals and it explores the idea revealed in the title; softening the curves of the city as an individual and collective act inspired by the work of Austrian artist Valie Export.

“a fascinating performance by The BodyCartography Project. Six people dressed in orange meld their bodies onto the concrete and metal surfaces of an alleyway, and get absolutely filthy because they are literally rolling around on the ground with their faces and bodies pressed into the concrete, hanging on anything and everything. I could have watched these amorphous beings creating strange and beautiful shapes for hours.” cherryandspoon.com
