Description: Four Action Researcher/Performers wore mirrors suspended around their necks and followed one another in unison along the streets of Kings Cross.  The person at the front of the line replicated an action witnessed by a member of the public and then the other Action Researcher/Performers behind would repeat this movement one after the other.  A form of urban theatre or dance was created, reflecting the incidental movement and behaviours of the passing public.  The repetition of casual gestures challenged conventional singular and unremarkable reactions through the development of spatial routines.
