Moving Walls is an experimental dance piece that examines human experience in relation to architecture. Combining movement with sculpture, animation, and sound, the piece is a collaborative project that questions our concepts of stability. With wheels, ropes, pulleys, hooks, and hinges, three performers construct and deconstruct the space around them. In turn, they are influenced by their shifting surroundings.

Audience members are invited to explore their own unique perspectives of Moving Walls by passing freely throughout different rooms of The Peale Center. The Peale’s rich and complex history of preservation, including former exhibitions on taxidermy and the building’s own physical restoration, provides a visual and conceptual framework for the performance.

Exhibition open April 14–May 5. Self-guided visits are free with timed entry until closing on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12-6pm, and Sundays from 10-4pm. Book your visit here.

Performances Saturday April 28, 8pm; Sunday April 29, 7pm; Thursday May 3, 8pm; Saturday May 5, 8pm. Get tickets here for the dance performances.

Outside the performances, Moving Walls is open to the public as an art installation, April 14th- May 5th.
