6PM: A Long Table on Proximity

Is the human body central to networking, communicating, and intimacy? How much does proximity matter when it comes to sharing? The Long Table is an experimental public forum originally developed by performance artist Lois Weaver. The Long Table experiments with participation and public engagement by re-appropriating a dinner table atmosphere as a public forum, and encouraging informal conversations on serious topics. It is literally a very long table set up with chairs and refreshments where anyone and everyone is welcome to come to the table, ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or simply sit, listen and watch.

followed by 8PM: Polvo (Octopus)

A card game in which players are dealt body parts instead of numbers in suit. Players will combine their own cards and reproduce the combinations with their own body. When a combination is impossible to be made alone the player may borrow a part of someone else's body to be able to continue to play.

FREE for participants of the Long Table
