How may longings of a group of people look like, if we let it conquer the streets colourfully and expressively through movement and dance? In this exercise we use our bodies to create a performance that talks about longings in a specific time, place, or community. This is a creative exercise that encourages to synthesize emotions, re-discovers the power of mundane movements and narrates the drifts and pulls between yesterday, today and tomorrow. If the group agrees the choreography can be performed on campus as a small pop-up parade.
