The Movement Movement. Or: your chance to make like Anna Karina running through the Louvre in Jean Luc Godard's Band of Outsiders. Canadians Jenn Goodwin and Jessica Rowe organise large groups to participate in ‘choreographed jogging expeditions through the world's major cultural institutions.'
I love how they insert ‘choreographed' in there - like they want to douse you in icy water before you go off half-cocked on your own unchoreographed run through some random ‘major cultural institution'. Is a large-scale unchoreographed running event even possible? What would that look like? Ooh, ooh, I know, it just came to me! The running of the bulls in Spain. Especially unchoreographed when you're the guy getting bull-gored and trampled and stuff.
There will be no bull when Jenn and Jessica invite you to join them on a run through Melbourne Museum on Saturday May 31, the last day of the Next Wave Festival. But there will, of course. be a stuffed horse. In Godard's film, Karina and co. are trying to beat the world record of nine minutes 43 seconds for running through the Louvre. How long will it take us to lap Phar Lap?
