Action Passing uses a variety of platforms and forms of collaboration to exchange information, actions and emotions between participating makers. The qualities of communication, and miscommunication, are made visible through the performance of movement. In this iteration of Action Passing, Inge, in Brooklyn, receives instructions for movement from Michelle, in Chicago, and responds to these instructions in the moment. Connected through the mobile devices of cellphone and laptop, both participants are moving through space, working with significantly different ideas of "movement."

Action Passing is an open source project that can be contributed to by anyone at anytime. The generated material builds an expansive collaborative archive whose contents will eventually grow into a future group performance, determined by the contributors. Contribution to the archive takes place via an online database at http://actionpassing.wordpress.com, via postal mail and any other form of documented communication. More
