“Bodies in Urban Spaces”
by Willi Dorner, choreographer (Austria)

Staged in Paris, London, Philadelphia and now Washington, DC, the cityscape becomes a dance floor with Bodies in Urban Spaces, created by Austrian choreographer Willi Dorner.
Bodies in Urban Spaces is a moving trail, choreographed for a group of local dancers. The performers lead the audience through selected parts of public and semi-public space, setting up a chain of physical interventions that appear quickly and only exist temporarily, allowing the viewer to perceive the same space or place in a new and different way – on the run. “Bodies in Urban Spaces” invites residents and audiences to walk and rediscover their own city – thus establishing a stronger relationship to their neighborhoods and urban environments.
