A group of everyday people wearing red, blue or green t-shirts come together to make geometric patterns with their bodies. The patterns are made in the middle of the road at Bondi Beach during a busy part of the day. Cars are stopped.

There is adrenaline, excitement and importantly relationship building as the performers rely on each other to create these beautiful geometric shapes.

The colours people choose to wear determine the geometric shapes that Sylvia Schwenk directs during the performance. Schwenk finalizes the patterns and choreography for the intervention once everyone arrives.
