This blog explores the act of walking and its ancient connection to philosophical thought. It will reflect on the process of Walking Piece, a project where 50 people will come together in South London to create a performance around the everyday movement.

More widely, these findings from the blog will also attempt to answer questions surrounding the impact of the Arts on those involved and those who are not, looking particularly at participatory dance.

Watch this space for interviews, photos, articles and other materials that we find in our wanderings.

These boots were made for walking...

With my favourite here-i-come boots on, I am off today to join many other south londoners to be filmed walking my walk. Screendance artists Lucy Cash and Becky Edmunds have been commissioned by Siobhan Davies Dance to create a short film, of different clips and edits of people walking from new born babies, to those past 80 years old and all of the inbetween.. Then, filming places in South London they will make a 3 minute film which will be shown as part of Footfall and Big Dance 2012..
