Abstract

Rimini Protokoll’s Do’s and Don’ts (2018) takes spectators on tours through cities in a disused truck to observe contemporary urban life. Commentary from nonprofessional (yet “expert”) performers and video interludes dissect and challenge the rules and norms of the 21st-century metropolis. Lucinda Childs’s 1964 Street Dance frames and historically contextualizes the discussion of performance “in” and “of” the city.
