LANDLINE: Halifax to Vancouver
View through CrossRef
Abstract: LANDLINE: Halifax to Vancouver, by Dustin Harvey and Adrienne Wong, is an intimate, roving performance for two participants situated in two different cities. Designed to relocate and connect different cities, the performance uses an audio track played over an iPod to guide participants on a walk through urban space. The participants are prompted to text message each other and share anecdotes, observations, and—possibly—secrets. At the end of the piece, the participants return to the start point, where they encounter their counterpoint via video link between the two cities. What happens next is up to the two strangers—who may be closer now than when they started. LANDLINE is a slow dance for two, with their arms wrapped around the nation. The performance is one hour long and repeats every ten minutes for a maximum of four hours at a time. LANDLINE was first produced between Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver, British Columbia, in September 2013 by Secret Theatre and Neworld Theatre.
