Rugcar is an on-going performance series which takes place with a rug on top of a car. The car is a mobile platform for installation and performance works. Rugcar comes from the need for dance spaces and performance opportunities that lie outside the traditional studio and theater spaces.

Through public performance, Rugcar hopes to engage an audience that wouldn’t otherwise engage in performance. The intention of Rugcar is not to get people to stop and break away from their prescribed day, but to be able to catch a glimpse of something and have this glimpse invoke a later reverie.

Rugcar has allowed a dialogue to open up between me and the people who choose to watch the performance. People have come up during the performance and have asked me questions about what I am doing and why I am doing it. Rugcar allows a rare opportunity in dance to simultaneously be performing and be talking and answering questions by an audience. Part of the performance is allowing space to inform a truly curious person who may have never before been exposed to dance and performance art.
