Choreography of Cities

Choreography of Cities

In this class, we will use choreography as a framework for seeing public space. We will discuss how the design of public space influences our movement and create our own imaginative and playful ways of navigating space. Hone your observational skills and track patterns, map sites, and capture movement in through iconic Seattle parks.
