We live much of our private lives in public. When we see two people sharing an intimate moment on the street or the subway – whether they’re kissing, having an argument, or consulting a map – it affects the space and people around it. The interaction is also affected by the environment in which it is occurring. This leads to a larger set of questions: When we are part of a pair, how are we changed as individuals? What dynamics come forward when we partner intellectually, intimately, or to accomplish a larger goal? What kind of intimacy do we find in relationships with our adversaries? How does the physical environment affect how we view those partnerships? What is the role of our changing perceptions of the world and society's perceptions of us?

The Partner Project will include a number of site-specific performances in and outside of New York City, as well as a culminating performance in a theater. Audience reactions to the site-specific performances, gathered through audio and video recordings, online interactions, and personal conversations, will be included in the final performance.
