Riga see you soon

I am packing my bags for Riga where our journey officially begins. I wanted to say thank you to all the brilliant people who have generously donated rope for this new artwork.
Thank you to Ivan in Yorkshire for the retired theatre rope. Thank you to Holly from number 83, and Holly's dad who raided his shed. Thank you to Celia and the retired garden swing. Thank you for the donations from Canada and the beautiful coil of practice Knots left on Laura's door step. Finally a huge thank you to Gandrs in Riga who have donated a stunning quantity of climbing rope to help us reach our target amount.
Each of these ropes have individually had many journeys of their own, but together they will now form a new journey. - one taken from Hand to Heart - a journey from Riga to London and London to Newcastle and back again to Riga.

Riga see you soon

Walking as a process

We are intrigued by anticipation and routine in the act of walking, with creating actions that echo the transforming processes of geology and human geography. Our collaborative methodology is evolving through practice and research inspired by writings of Solnit, De Certeau, Debord and Baudelaire.

Walking being the main feature of our artistic process, we create site-specific projects focusing on different qualities of this practice:
• Walking directly and sensually engages walkers (both performer and audience) with the environment/space they are in, at the time they are in it.
• Walking accommodates self-awareness and escape, one's mental focus switches (almost as expertly as an eye in its visual field) from one's body, to the landscape and beyond.
• Walking is a physical and personal experience that in the act of sharing is translated (distance traveled, number of steps, directions, stories) or recorded in visual forms (patterns, imprints, maps).

Re:::lay

Re:::lay is a performance and installation project exploring the nature of long-distance relationships. The first phase of the project, developed in October of 2008, involves us creating performance-walks for participants between Nottingham and Edinburgh, London and Sheffield and Nottingham and Bethesda in the UK.

As Re:::lay develops, we will pose questions to you, our online audience, and suggest creative instructions and activities for how to connect with others over distance. We encourage you to share you opinions and results here.
