In 2008 Jo was invited by DIN A 13 dance company to create a site-specific integrated dance piece as part of the 2nd Crossings Dance festival in tanzhaus nrw, Düsseldorf.
Crossings Dance Festival focuses upon work with disabled and non-disabled dancers and is a partnership between DIN A 13 and tanzhaus nrw.
From an idea by Gustavo Fijalkow and in partnership with the dancers, Jo created a dance piece at the Düsseldorf main station and on the train line connecting the station with the REHACARE trade fair. REHACARE is a trade fair and congress for people with disabilities.
Commuters at the station and on the trains witnessed dance interventions. They were offered headphones where they could listen to a specially composed soundtrack by John Blue. At the REHACARE trade fair, people could watch a film of the performance in real time – timed so that the dancers completed the hour-long journey to the trade fair exactly as the film finished and then performed live.
