12 dancers placed on roofs covering a 10-block area. Compromised improvised gestures, more or less stationary, which were initiated at 53 Wooster, copied by the next in line, and so on.
About Me
My name is Andy Field. I am an artist, writer, part-time curator, sometime academic and occasional polemicist who lives in Bristol. For the last five years I've been Co-Director of Forest Fringe with Deborah Pearson. Forest Fringe is an artist-led organisation making space for risk and experimentation at the Edinburgh Festival and beyond. Forest Fringe’s innovative community-led approach to supporting and collaborating with artists has allowed it to become a home to some of the country’s most exciting and radical new performance work.
I am also an artist in my own right, creating unusual interactive projects for a range of contexts. My writing on performance has been included in numerous publications including the Guardian, This is Tomorrow, The Stage and Contemporary Theatre Review. I've recently completed a PhD exploring the relationship between contemporary performance practice and the New York avant-gardes of the 1960s and 1970s.

Hi Christian,
I’m afraid I don’t know. Perhaps contact MOMA in New York who have a large archive on work from this period.
Sorry I can’t be more help.

Hello,
I work for Microcinema International. We curate, exhibit and distribute the moving image arts. Trisha Brown is an artist from one of our labels.
Since you support Trisha Brown’s Dance Company, I know you will enjoy her upcoming screening of “Shot Backstage” on June 29th, 2009
