Day Fifteen:
Friday the 31st of July

Tire Alley
The Workforce Recovery group spent the day focusing on reactivating a derelict alleyway that had been a magnet for trash, debris and filth for the last several years. Colin's group set about not only cleaning the alley, but reusing tires from the space in a playful and visually stunning fashion. Michael's group used the hanging tires as a playground for starting their experiments with filming movement. The short video below features short movements/poses/ideas created by each of the individual participants.
