Oh, the Places We'll Go…, a Rebecca Whitehurst solo dance installation inspired by interviews of NYC apartment dwellers, explores 4 different characters: their stories, their spaces, and their philosophy on 'territory' in the city. The sagas range from a hilarious young man who lives in a piano-shaped room with a shower head directly over his toilet, to an older woman who wouldn’t give up her 1860’s house until she gave up her ghost at 93.
The movement vocabulary and use of space differ for each character, gestures interweave with release and acrobatic choreography. Whimsical use of walls and windows define, as Whitehurst embodies the varied thoughts and feelings on living space. Passersby will be able to hear the interviews, witness Whitehurst's accompanying performance, and--if inclined--share their own stories by slips of paper (saga slips) and a box that sit outside the window.
