Chalk

By: Nicola Elliott

Chalk explores the power and play of demarcation, disrupting the status quo by opposing the normative mode of physicality within a particular environment. Positioning bodies within the boundaries of straight, chalked, white lines usually suggests a game or sport; by framing something ordinary, it is elevated to the noteworthy.

In Chalk, a few players meet to have a 'very ordinary' dance-game within the unstable demarcations of a shifting and busy section of the Cape Town CBD.

Performed by: Richard Antrobus, Julia de Rosenwerth, Adriana Jamisse and Kopano Maroga.
