Please note that participation in the work involves wearing an inflatable full body suit (fun!), which includes a full face mask. It will be a largely visual and auditory experience, which will involve movement on a variety of surfaces and there may be long periods of walking and/or standing. You don’t need any prior dance experience or knowledge, however a willingness to follow direction and work with a group are musts.
If you have any questions about participating in the work, please contact: lookslikeatourist@gmail.com
