Circle of Chairs

Moving towards connection and delight

This roving, 12-minute audio-guided folk dance brings an intergenerational group of 12 people together for impromptu connection and delight. Each participant is equipped with a chair, headphones, and an audio device. Everyone hits “play” and begins following a series of simple physical prompts. A joyful choreography soon emerges, moving individuals away from distrust and anxiety towards ephemeral community. Circle of Chairs is intentionally held in public spaces to spark curiosity, creativity, and intimacy between and among people.
