Gravity Feed appear on the video from 21min 17sec.

1997’s TrackWork by Urban Theatre Projects (then Death Defying Theatre) took audiences on a multi-stop train journey departing Sydney Redfern Station. TrackWork was co-directed by John Baylis and Fiona Winning with the idea conceived by Monica Barone. Gravity Feed performed on Granville Railway Station Platform. We worked with white bedsheets based on some of the choreography we had developed for “Stool Pigeons”, mainly folding the sheets, throwing tem outwards, and tumbling them very fast. Audiences travelled by train to different performance sites along the route on the six Western Sydney railway station platforms like this one but also inside the carriages.Performances were simultaneous as you can see in the video excerpt. It was a major undertaking for the UTP team.
