collective action.

Center. They will be required to do both improvised and choreographed
script/movements determined before hand with the artist. The generator
of the piece is a political text/poem. This political text-manifesto will be
handed to the performers and it will be used to generate their individual
script/choreography. Total duration of the performance around 20 min.
