Transforming our American flag into a Flag of US is part of a series of collective participation performances choreographed by Martha Skinner, a project inspired by the game of Musical Chairs—but in this version, no one is ever left out. This one is a response to the divisive rhetoric and acts going on in our nation. Through the drawing of each others faces-—and faces on top of faces—to the stop-and-go rhythm of the emerging music we create together on a large table that had been painted to represent the American flag, we break down imaginary boundaries that divide us while we create together playfully.
