DESCRIPTION:
Chronicling the inner life of the American consumer, STORE is inspired by how and why we buy. What will our bodies do in a world where the product no longer exists, but the rules-- detest, discover, purchase, apply, empty, repeat-- still apply?

A set built of thousands of clohtes, morphs throughout the show from vast garbage-like piles to neatly stacked walls to outfits for the audience to wear.

Kate Watson-Wallace, a Philadelphia-based choreographer and performer, is the director of anonymous bodies, an interdisciplinary performance company that creates site-based performances that re-imagine everyday spaces.
