Visitors Unintentionally Dance to Avoid Hundreds of Swinging Pendulums

At Brighton Festival, an annual arts festival in England, one of the world's most innovative choreographers, William Forsythe, has brought out a fun installation that makes visitors unintentionally dance. Hundreds of delicate pendulums, swinging in timed sequences, dangle from an old municipal market space. Visitors are welcome to walk through the installation but they must avoid touching the pendulums. Suddenly, you've become a dancer as your strides and side-steps produce a lively choreography!

You can enjoy Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time No. 2 at Circus Street Market from now till May 25. If you'd like to see how this works, watch a version of Forsythe's dance-inducing installation, here.
