Taking place on the 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭, we will develop an absurdist ball game, creating a free space to make, break and reshape the rules of football, using the body, voice, props and collective action. The game will explore methods of collaborative movement, accompanied by improvised chants. We will host a medal ceremony to close off the event and reward all participants.
