We will be up in Manchester on 17th July 2010 running Walking Smiles at Hazard – a biennial festival of intervention and sited performance offering strange occurrences in unexpected places.

Stationed in the Manchester Arndale Centre – we will send out a ‘army’ of smilers who have one hour to go out into the city to see if they can raise the temperature by trying to solicit smiles from strangers. These smiles then get mapped in real time, creating a handmade visualization of the intervention.

Walking Smiles is part of the Larkin’ About programme – a mircofestival within a festival!
