Lindsay checks the arrangement of hand-knit hats connected by lengths of red l-cord

before the start of a performance in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Volunteers donned the

hats and experienced their connection with others physically and visually while

performing choreographed movements together.

After the performance, the cords were removed and the hats were donated to charity.
