Practicing for When We Need Each Other More :
2008 - Looping DVD - 18mins 40secs

Practicing for When We Need Each Other More stemmed from an interest in the complex and choreographic pattern making of starling flocks. The instinctual collective intelligence of animals does not directly translate to human groups so watching people's conscious concentration on collaboration can become very telling of the way human groups function. To realize this project volunteers, both with and without dance training, met with me weekly for one month to practice improvised group oriented movements. The idea that groups of people may meet up on a regular basis to practice being together is a funny yet strangely rewarding idea.
