A-Z Community Advent: G is for Glasgow
For the 7th day we’re looking back to Girl Walk // All Day during 2013.
Pidgin Perfect worked with Glasgow Youth Film Festival (GYFF) and Glasgow Film Festival to produce an interactive screening of Girl Walk // All Day, as part of their 2013 programme. This special collaboration culminated in an outdoor screening of the 90 minute music video, set in New York, which took place on a very wet and cold evening in February.
Pidgin Perfect worked with the GYFF Youth Team and two dance organisations based in Glasgow to produce a temporary outdoor dance cinema on an embankment of the River Clyde. DanceHQ and Dance House collaborated to organise a flash mob ‘Dance Walk’ which danced its way through the city centre from the Glasgow Film Theatre to the site of temporary outdoor dance cinema gathering a public audience along the way. DanceHQ then preformed a choreographed interactive dance routine to accompany the energy of Girl Walk // All Day and encouraged audience participation.
The dramatic transformation of the redundant and grey stalled space site into an inspiring and engaging performance theatre for one night only brought a new energy and audience to the site, changing the public perception of the purpose and potential uses of the site in advance of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
