What does your city look like from someone else’s perspective? How intimate can you be with someone you’ve just met?

Walking:Holding is a project by Glasgow-based artist Rosana Cade. It is a participatory performance for one audience member at a time, offering a gentle exploration of identity, touch and intimacy in urban public space. The project is coming to Valletta as part of Latitude 36 this July and we are looking for a diverse range of local people to take part as participants.

As a participant you will attend a group workshop on Tuesday 2nd July from 6.30pm to 10.30pm a rehearsal on Thursday 5 th July from 6.30pm to 9.30pm and then take part in the performances on Friday 6 th July from 6.30pm-9.30pm and Saturday 7 th July from 3pm to 9pm. In the performance you will be stationed at a specific point in the town and walk with every audience member for about 5 minutes before passing them onto the next participant, then returning to your starting point. Each audience member will walk for about 30-40 minutes and hold hands with about 6 or 7 different local participants. We are looking for people of various genders, backgrounds, sexualities, ages, appearances, races and religions to take part. No previous performance experience is required, just an interest in the project.
