Dancing in the street
Performance at Hollywood Blvd. & N Hudson Ave. January 20th, 2018, 6 – 10PM
La Pista de Baile by Colectivo AM
organized by Daniela Lieja Quintanar
As part of the Getty initiative PST:LA/LA, LACE presents La Pista de Baile, a participatory performance by Colectivo AM. This project reflects and rethinks how community relationships are articulated in Los Angeles by connecting communities in one collective performance. La Pista de Baile, a public invitation to dance together with local DJs, shortens geographical and cultural distances between participants. In the week before the performance, Colectivo AM documented dance steps across LA using a portable photo booth to add to the Banco Universal de Pasos, with a Living Research Station displaying the findings in LACE’s storefront. The completed Banco was presented at this final performance.
