Dancing with Horses for the Pullman Project

Over the past couple years, JoAnna Mendl Shaw and I have teamed up on the creation of a new horse performance piece in the south side Pullman neighborhood in Chicago. Known for it’s history of building Pullman train cars in this industry town, we wanted to examine how the horse turned into the iron horse.

 

We’ve worked alongside Poe Classical Elementary and Pullman Elementary, the National Park Services for the Pullman Monument, Pullman Historical Society, and Transitions Equestrian Center to create a celebration of the industrial revolution in their community.
