‘and it went everywhere’                                                            
A new A2company streetwalking event: 8th 9th 10th October 2010
 
In order to create understanding and transformation of the world  we must create adventures. Society’s emancipation will not be found in the existing structure of the world, but in the cracks and lost spaces. G.Debord
 
Walking came from evolution and from necessity and it went everywhere, usually looking for something…
 
Walking to investigate, to protest, to accompany, to trespass, to march, to survive, to escape... to walk away from a lover and to meet with a new one… As courtship, as tourism, as ritual, as meditation…for health, for pleasure, for forgiveness, for justice, for independence, for truth, for freedom…
 
London performance company A2, are looking for 40 people of all backgrounds, ages and experience to participate in workshops, leading towards 3 street-walking events in Vienna.
 
A2 is looking for people who are keen and willing to:
 
Playfully explore walking in the city and to carry out both deliberate and subliminal actions and interventions.

and it went everywhere aims to explore and subvert psycho-geographical urban behavioral patterns, whilst reinventing alternative experiences and environments.

What can be personally and publicly transformed in one journey?
What can 40 people achieve together, which cannot be done alone?
What does it mean to be free, outdoors in the public domain?

A new A2 participatory streetwalking event

Walking to investigate, to protest, to accompany, to trespass, to march, to survive, to escape... to walk away from a lover and to meet with a new one ... As courtship, as tourism, as ritual, as meditation …for health, for sex, for pleasure, for forgiveness, for justice, for independence, for truth, for freedom

And it went everywhere

Walking came from evolution and from necessity and it went everywhere, usually looking for something...
 
40 local people, across ages, will walk a given route in the city for 2-3hrs, sometimes together, sometimes apart. Their journey and communion will be invested in different meanings in accordance to the actions they will be instructed to perform, the varying distances between them and the changing sites.

Interventions will often be subliminal, yet compelling enough to leave a trace.
 
And it went everywhere aims to explore and subvert psycho-geographical urban behavioural patterns, situations and unacknowledged social ‘viruses’, whilst reinventing new alternatives.

What can be personally and publicly transformed in one journey?
What can 40 people achieve together, which cannot be done alone?
