Step This Way #live #dance #music #multimedia
"Step This Way” is a site-specific performance featuring live music and dance by Mark Gabriel Little and Maura García. The performance took place in November 2023, on and around pARC, a playful installation designed and created by the Urban Conga on the Ackland’s Terrace. “Step This Way” transforms the seemingly unrelated elements of the Museum and the surrounding areas into a unifying performance experience, with music and choreography that change as the environment and the people within it change throughout the duration of the piece. “Step This Way” celebrates place, the arts, and the capacity that we have to listen to, relate to, and beautifully respond to one another.
