ALL – a physical poem of protest investigates the individual and shared agency of choreography in the social, political and artistic spaces. An epic community performance that considers the force of the protesting body, the human mass through the meditative action of walking and running in circles.
The poem consists of a mass of different local people of different ages, backgrounds and appearances. They meet three days prior to the performance to rehearse this realtime negotiations of differences.
