THE BLUES CALLING

A series of multimedia workshops tackling through sound, body movement and metaphorical space issues about inequality, slavery, segregation and incarceration.

MARCH 17. 2010 – Version 1.

This piece was divided into three parts. First, we gathered on a set of chairs arranged in the dimensions of a prison cell. Then, few participants joined the movement exercise which was accompanied by an anonymous prison blues, circa 1900. Simultaneously, the people sitting watched our performance, and our images were captured and projected live inside a moveable wall that contained a temporary drawing made out of elastics illustrating a series of rectangular spaces. Inside this rectangle, we were projected to scale to appear as if we were walking on this fenced field.
