Sara Wookey is a choreographer and multi-disciplinary artist working between the mediums of dance, performance, photography, and video. In this artist talk, Sara Wookey will discuss the history leading up to her current project, Walking LA, which emerges from her two and a half years of research on walking in Los Angeles. This project has taken on various forms, such as live performance, installation, and urban interventionist events such as walking performances and Gorilla marketing tactics, as it considers the intersection of, and play between, the self/subject and the built urban landscape.

Sara Wookie's work has been presented in the Czech Republic, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Spain and, most recently, at the Hammer Museum, REDCAT and 24th Street Theater in Los Angeles. She has been a guest artist at, among others, The Amsterdam School for the Arts, Chisenhale Dance Space in London, The Duncan Centre Konzervator in Prague, The Ohio State University and the Wexner Center for the Arts.
