  15. A massive air-raid made out of its own instruction

  16. Ten dozen dancers running wild in the streets of Malmö

This is a page of many that describe the endlessly interesting adventures of Erik Sandelin and Magnus Torstensson aka UNSWORN

This particular page introduces a workshop (partly inspired by a cold-war era horror story by Clive Barker) where a large number of students use each other as design material in unpredictable urban choreographies
