Using smartphones, the audience is invited to play the dual role of voyeur and accomplice in an audio-guided, experiential tour of the city. Each audience member is partnered through text messaging with a fellow participant in a distant city. As the experience unfolds, individuals are prompted simultaneously to share stories, memories, and secrets.

There are also moments in which they act out choreography they imagine doing together.

The project largely takes place outside in the city using the urban landscape as backdrop for the relationship forming between two strangers.

LANDLINE offers participants a curious exposure to the feeling of being alone together.

A prototype of LANDLINE was live-tested between Vancouver and Halifax in September 2013, and the show has since toured to Dartmouth, Halifax, Ottawa, Wales, Scotland, and Iceland.

Produced by Secret Theatre (Halifax), presented by MT Space's Impact Festival (Kitchener-Waterloo) and Boca del Lupo's Micro Performance Series (Vancouver). Developed with Neworld Theatre (Vancouver), in collaboration with Canada's National Arts Centre.
