Drawing in the Streets
The Drawing Center presents Big Draw Flash Mob
The Drawing Center’s Big Draw Flash Mob
The Drawing Center and The Rover invite the public to join in a dancer-led movement event that explores drawing as gesture. Traveling along a 4-block path in SoHo, participants will shadow dancers as they move through the streets. Repeated gestures will encourage participants to connect, observe and explore their surroundings in a new way. Drawing will be investigated through the embodied line, which will take the form of the path traveled, the lines formed by the body, and the metaphorical ‘line’ that connects the thoughts of those partaking in the movement.
Captained by Rani Welch/Tribe of Human, the event will begin with a cue from opera singer Abby Powell at the Thompson Street Entrance of Triangle Park. Participants will be led by three dance companies who will trade off at three distinct points along the route. Each company will lead using movement motivated by one of three themes: site/sight line, negative space, and change of perspective.
