There have also been 10 one-on-one incarnations of this project at Naima's studio in Philadelphia, PA. Whether with a friend in a small cold studio, or with 35 people overlooking rural upstate NY, the idea stays the same: Naima invites you to help her destroy this video tape by doing the moves with her over and over.
