Warsaw, Poland

One Day Parade

when 3 August 2015 - 14 August 2015
duration 2 weeks
fee GBP 300

Parades are commemorative civic celebrations that mark a special day or event and take the form of a procession, often involving costumes, floats, inflatables and marching bands. Each parade takes a journey through the city and during its performance temporarily transforms its local urban environment.

This year the Warsaw Summer School will design, build and perform a parade on the streets of Warsaw. But before the parade can commence, a route must be found, costumes made, a mobile structure built and a performance choreographed.

The big finale – our ‘One Day Parade’ – will commemorate our collective experience of a single day in Warsaw.

The parade is the architecture of the brightly-coloured, light-weight, mobile, temporary, big, elastic, inflatable, expandable, foldable. TIME and MOVEMENT are crucial; the parade must be carefully choreographed and synchronised along the street.
