To those not clued in, there appeared to be a jail break today at the Lawson Software building in downtown Saint Paul (click for larger image):
Colleague Diana Flotten spied Project Bandaloop doing its thing on the side of the building at lunchtime today.
According to its Web site, "Project Bandaloop has been amazing audiences worldwide and creating dynamic dances that reframe how people perceive their environment and the art form of dance since 1991. Performing in natural and urban settings, the company uses theaters, buildings, towers, bridges, cliffs, and skyscrapers as its dance floor."
The performance lasted about 20 minutes and will be repeated tomorrow (Thursday) at noon, Friday at 11:45am & 12:45pm, Saturday at noon and 1:45pm and Sunday at11:00am & 1:00pm. (See another image via Flickr. And here's one from above.)
Here's a performance they provided in New Delhi...
