DJing a city

DJing a City is a participatory choreographic drift that simultaneously navigates intimate, private, and public spaces.
This proposal is open to anyone wishing to dance furtively within, with, and among public space.
After a 1.5-hour warm-up and preparation in the studio, participants, equipped with headphones and MP3 players, will press play together and begin their drift while listening to an original soundtrack created for the occasion.

Each participant will have previously provided references for a sound track (3 to 5 minutes long) on which they would particularly like to dance. These tracks will be integrated into the sound creation and will serve as the foundation for the score of this adventure.

Capacity: 12 participants
Duration: 3 hours
Technical Requirements: Self-sufficient. Pierre-Benjamin arrives the day before for location scouting, sound recording, and preparation of the soundtrack and the 12 headphones and MP3 players.
