Video break: bodies in urban spaces

Willi Dorner's choreography is about making people see their world in a different way. Most of us walk or drive around the city without giving much thought to the buildings around us, because we see them everyday. And we tend to interact with the urban environment in preditable ways; we sit on benches, we walk through doorways, and we stand at bus stops.

But what if we didn't?

Based in Vienna, Dorner recently brought his unique brand of choreography to New York City. The above video is from a performance done in Philadelphia in 2008.

What I want to know is, when is his troupe coming to Minnesota?
