Solo 30x30

In October 2007, Dance Umbrella presents Canadian dance artist Paul-André Fortier in his work Solo 30x30 in Liverpool St (adjacent to the station), London, UK.

About the piece:
900 minutes of intimacy between a man and a city, Solo 30x30 is a 30-minute dance performed for 30 consecutive days, in the same place, at the same time, come rain, hail or shine.

This free, outdoor event, created and performed by Paul-André Fortier, is designed to be part of the city and its urban activity. Fortier gives you the opportunity to experience your local environment in a totally new way...up to 30 times.

Previously, Solo 30x30 has transformed the streetscapes of Newcastle, Nancy, Ottawa, Yamaguchi, Montréal and Bolzano. Now, it’s London’s turn.

This blog will be used as a daily chronicle of the performance and will include photographs, videos and show reports.

‘Fortier’s newest work takes contemporary dance out of the theatre and drops it into the swarming, chaotic, smelly heart of the city.’ The Ottawa Citizen
