Follow The Leader - Tuesday, August 10, 2010, 11:00am
Beginning near the steps of City Hall, you are invited to embark on a walking game of "Follow the Leader" in the neighborhood saturated with the offices of local, state and national politicians. We'll play on the steps, stretch out in metal detectors and throw our voices - all in an effort to remind our leaders that we will not be lead silently or blindly. Together, we'll confront contemporary notions of security and surveillance and shadow the daily business of our elected leaders through public buildings and back rooms.
This walk holds 6 people. If the listed dates of this walk do not work for you, Niegel is available for private walks. See here for more info.
See research and past performance photos from "Follow the Leader".
