SPRING RING SPRUNG SPUNK_ A WIDE OPEN STUDIO
Is an open studio for visitors to extent their limits and expand their perceptions.
An interactive playground of ten “Work and Wonder” stations.
Made out of extension springs, citrus fruits, horse gear and floor texts of organised thoughts.
Compositions of quotes, song titles, truisms and movement guides in the language of The Anastasia Method.
An edited version of “Push It” from Salt’N’Pepe is the permanent soundtrack.
“String Theory is the Theory of Everything
Spring Theory is the Theory of Something”
