curvature of the road, scene coming to me, blue sky, hands in pockets
walking, talking to themselves, using microphone of the mobile
pipipipipi, small run to get there, scarf over the head, long skirts
small path in the big road
making our own path on the road
cutting the flow of cars,,, no,
finding the space between the flow of cars,
cutting across, between,
the space between
safe path, you have the signal and alarm
my own time to cross
priority, thank you
man in the driver's seat
head light, big head of cars
trucks, buses, red, red, red, stop
my time finishes, I start new journey to ASDA
short strip of time and space
bridging this side and that side
no meanings, just different sides
opposite sides,
flow of people walking, around them
all the same buildings, shops, banks, markets,
moving flow of people

Crossings is looking at the particularity of busy crossings in a big city such as London and Tokyo. At a road crossing, movement of traffic and pedestrians create particular patterns in the designated time and space. Pedestrians gestures reflect what occupy their minds, rather than used as means for communication with others regardless of very close proximity to each other. How this social phenomenon could be transformed into dance performance?
CROSSINGS TOTTENHAM
Currently we are working with Haringey Young Carers to create their version of Crossings, which will be performed in outdoor locations in Tottenham on the 7th and 8th July, as part of Big Dance 2012. Supported by Arts Council England and Big Dance 2012. For more info, please click here. http://crossingstottenham.tumblr.com/
