Ready Set Sail
(video)

Ready Set Sail was a mixed-media performance that took place in Berlin at the Superbien Greenhouse for Contemporary Art in September 2007. The collaborative of Dance Gang (Kennis Hawkins and Will Rawls), musician/architect Jeremy Linzee, and artist/curator Trong G. Nguyen mobilized the space and its surrounds as a departure point, lighthouse, and vessel that acted as a beacon, biosphere, and site for "collection." Channeling the author Alain de Botton (The Art of Travel) and explorers such as Alexander von Humboldt, Hannibal, and Ulysses, Ready Set Sail incorporated dance, music, and interactive performance to investigate the phenomena of locomotion, "imperialism," and discovery.

Ready Set Sail is set to music the entire duration, and is broken up into four sections: Departure, Landscape, Art, and Return.

The second version of Ready Set Sail is scheduled for spring 2009 at a location to be announced.
