Choreographer Jenni Bregman studied human use and interaction in urban areas to create her latest dance piece, "Intimate City."
The Polis Blog reviews the performance, and underlines the connection between dance and mobility in urban areas.
"[N]ine dancers enacted the sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic ballet of human interactions in crowded urban spaces, in the appropriately intimate Garage venue. They awoke alone, unaware that others were performing the same motions just behind the wall. They got down on their marks and raced off into high-speed streets, ensconced in headphones. They maneuvered awkwardly in a crowded elevator, avoiding contact at all costs."
