The Latitude Project
An international cross-artform arts projects between collaborating dancers Marnie Orr (Australia) and Carla Vendramin (Brazil).
Perth: -32° 04' 115° 49'
Porto Alegre: -31° 58' -52° 46'
If there is only 6° of separation between people, how many degrees of separation between places? There is only 2° difference in latitude between Perth and Porto Alegre. This is our starting point.
Other Questions
What are the geographical, historical, cultural, social and geologically significant similarities and differences between our cities?
What characteristics draw our attention?
How can we compare cities?
Why is this project important, if at all?
