Dancing in/to 'All Languages' is a series of instructions for movement taken directly from the In all languages vocabulary. Myself and Sabine Sorgel a lecturer at Aberystwyth University devised a 10 minute choreography to be performed by all conference delegates at the Living Landscapes conference in Aberystwyth and Moving Topographies California on April 20th. The score was performed simultaneously in both locations I gave the instructions in Aberystwyth and Sabine did the same in California. In order to ensure that the movements were in unison in both locations we attached a time code to each instruction. We decided against a live link choosing to bring the co-location performance together in the edit.

Directly following the Living Landscapes conference I went on to PSi 15 where Dancing in/to All languages was re performed on the streets of Zagreb at part of the Showroom Shift.
I have since proposed to perform this short instruction based event in Cardiff and hope to have a series of examples from different locations which I can eventually bring together in the edit. If you would like to perform this event with passers by or a group of people get in touch and I can forward the timings on to you, all you need is a megaphone, stopwatch and a group of willing participants. It would be great to receive photos of this choreography being performed all around the world.
