Walk Don't Run

Walk Don't Run
Catapult Dance in association with Mark Linnane

Walk Don't Run was performed and filmed at the intersection of South Great George's Street and Dame Street, Dublin in 2007. The performers attempted to faithfully repeat a series of simple, choreographed, 15-second episodes in a busy city-centre intersection when the lights were green for pedestrians. Each attempt took place at a different time of day and the performers had to negotiate drastically changing circumstances as morning progressed into night.
