WALK WALK SHUFFLE
LIVE Performance Biennial / November 2003 / Access ARC, Vancouver

This performance began with the 8 members of Norma assembled in rows of 4 in the centre of the gallery. Their heads were covered (and their vision obscured) by items of their own clothing. Unaccompanied by music, the group performed a series of line dances; to keep in time, members counted aloud to themselves and each other in 4-beat measures. As each dance progressed, the line formations steadily deteriorated. Lines were reformed after each dance ended. The performance lasted 3 hours.
