Abstract

In 2018, Molly Johnson and Meredith Thompson made a thirty-minute movement work for a Toronto laneway as part of the SummerWorks Lab series. Dressed in primary shades of pink, orange, and red, with buckets of lemons, directions etched in sidewalk chalk, a hand-drawn map to guide, and a live sound score emanating from an unseen source, Meredith and Molly invited small groups of audience members and curious neighbours on a meditative journey of witnessing and wandering from one end of a city laneway to the other. This is their attempt to translate the experience of the work into the pages of a magazine.
