Instructions for Urban Exploration explores the intersections of poetry, space and movement. Adapted from the poem of the same title, as performed by poet Vievee Francis, this impressionistic dance-short questions contemporary fascination with abandoned space, the implications for such fascination, and the tangible experience of occupying and "exploring" these landscapes.
